Dalit Student's Father Attacked During Jantar-Mantar Protest Over Paper Leak

Delhi's historic Jantar-Mantar became the scene of a violent incident on Saturday as protesters demanding action in a paper leak case turned aggressive. According to police reports, a group of demonstrators assaulted Sanjay, the father of Dalit student Nishu Azad, who had been participating in the rally. The assault was captured on video and quickly circulated on social media, prompting calls for a swift investigation.

Police officials arrived at the site shortly after the incident and detained several individuals suspected of involvement. They have opened a case under sections related to assault and public disorder, and are reviewing CCTV footage to identify all participants. The authorities have also urged the public to maintain peace during future demonstrations.

The protest, organized by student groups, aimed to highlight alleged irregularities in the recent paper leak investigation. While the demonstrators demanded accountability, the unexpected violence against Sanjay has shifted focus to concerns about safety and law enforcement response at public gatherings.
