Delhi protest: Four men claiming links to Hindu Raksha Dal arrested for assault on students
The accused have been identified as Raman Saini, 50, Vivekanand alias Vivek, 32, Kapil Kumar, 27, and Ravinder Singh alias Govind Hindu, 35, a senior police officer said
Four men linked to the Hindu Raksha Dal were arrested in Delhi on October 11, 2026, for allegedly assaulting students and women during a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. The incident, captured in a viral video on social media, showed the men assaulting young students and physically manhandling women on DDU Marg.
The footage, which initially circulated on political social media groups, led to the identification and arrest of the suspects by the Kamla Market police station. No formal complaint had been filed, but police acted on their own after receiving confidential inputs about the men's attempts to evade action.
