Journalists
VS
Delhi police
Delhi Police is the municipal police force of Delhi, India, responsible for law enforcement in the national capital.
Journalists, in this context, are independent reporters and media professionals who cover news and events, often including political and social issues.
The two sides are in conflict over an incident involving two Muslim female journalists, Shaheen Khan and Nafisa Khan, who allege they were detained and assaulted by Delhi Police personnel at the Saket police station.
The journalists claim that after they attempted to question Delhi's Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, police asked about their religion before assaulting them.
This has led to protests by journalist bodies and raised questions about police conduct and the treatment of minority journalists.
The police have not yet provided a public response, and the incident has sparked broader concerns about custodial violence against journalists in India.
