Indian police have been accused of sexually harassing journalists during a protest over changes to voter rolls. The allegations followed the detention of dozens of protesters who were demanding the resignation of the country’s election chief.
The demonstrations centred on opposition to changes made to electoral rolls. Protesters called for the election chief to step down, linking the demand to concerns about the changes. Police detained dozens of people during the protest, after which allegations involving journalists emerged.
The supplied account does not provide further details about the alleged incidents, the identities of those involved, the location or date of the protest, or any response from the police or election authorities. The latest situation is therefore unclear.
