Jharkhand protest: Police defend ‘mild force’, to scan CCTV for miscreants
The 17-day-long protest in Ranchi, Jharkhand, entered a new phase after police used "mild" and "minimum" force to disperse students marching towards the Jharkhand Assembly. Police defended their actions, stating they employed the least amount of force necessary to restore order. However, student protesters accused the police of using excessive force, claiming up to 100 individuals were beaten during the lathicharge.
To identify those responsible for disrupting the peaceful demonstration, police vowed to analyze CCTV footage from the protest.
