CRPF Officer Raises Concerns Over Police Treatment of Women Protesters in Delhi

A serving CRPF officer has formally lodged a complaint regarding the conduct of Delhi Police and other CAPF personnel toward women protesters, raising fresh questions about crowd management tactics during demonstrations in the national capital.

The officer, identified as Solanki, submitted the complaint along with supporting documentation in the form of three video links sourced from social media platforms. According to the officer's submission, the footage appears to show police and CAPF personnel engaging in physical mistreatment of women demonstrators.

The complaint adds to ongoing scrutiny of policing practices during public protests in Delhi, where law enforcement agencies have faced repeated allegations regarding the handling of demonstrations. Women participants in protests have increasingly reported concerns about differential treatment and use of force.

The submission of this complaint by an active CRPF officer underscores internal concerns within India's security establishment about standards of conduct during crowd management operations. The matter comes as various human rights organizations continue to monitor protest-related incidents across major Indian cities.

The complaint is likely to be examined by relevant authorities to determine whether any formal inquiry or investigation is warranted into the conduct of officers involved in the alleged incidents captured in the social media videos.
