Face Off with Rajdeep examines allegations that Delhi Police used excessive force against protesters and students who were prevented from marching towards Parliament. Senior advocate Colin Gonsalves calls for immediate judicial intervention, examination of the videos and hearings for those who were injured. Referring to the police response, he says, 'They're still in the colonial age', and argues that most participants were peaceful.
DGP and retired IPS officer Nirmal Kaur says crowd management is a primary police responsibility and that even a small number of troublemakers can trigger wider violence. She cites videos appearing to show stone-pelting and attacks on police personnel, while supporting an inquiry into all available footage. The discussion considers whether the police distinguished sufficiently between peaceful demonstrators and those allegedly involved in violence, and whether an internal or court-monitored investigation is required.
