Two Muslim women reporters claim they were taken into custody by Delhi police and subjected to severe physical abuse. The journalists, who work for a regional news outlet, say they were stopped while covering a protest and then beaten, stripped of their belongings and threatened with further intimidation. Their allegations have sparked a heated debate over police conduct, press freedom and communal bias in India’s capital, prompting calls for an independent inquiry from human‑rights groups and opposition parties. Authorities have denied the accusations, stating the journalists were detained for violating local regulations, while the case continues to draw national and international attention.
