New Delhi: When the Enforcement Directorate (ED) was questioning Congress President Sonia Gandhi for the second time in six days on Tuesday, a video of Indian Youth Congress president Srinivas BV being pulled by his hair went viral on social media with several users condemning the police action.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) Amrutha Guguloth said disciplinary action will be taken against the erring officials.
The Delhi Police Tuesday said they are in the process of identifying the personnel who allegedly manhandled Srinivas during a protest against the questioning of party chief Sonia Gandhi by the Enforcement Directorate.
In the video, Delhi Police personnel are seen pushing Srinivas in the car and in this process, a cop allegedly holds his hair.
"When we were protesting, some three to four police personnel hit me. They also pulled my hair and forcefully dragged me inside a car. The police first took us to Sarojini Nagar and later to the Vasant Kunj police station. We are yet to be released," he said Tuesday evening.
In an official statement, Srinivas said, "The dictatorial government will not be able to crush our spirits by taking us it into police custody. We will end the suppression of the dictatorial rule of the BJP with Satyagraha. Fighting against the dictatorial rule Gandhi, Nehru and Patel also went to jail. We are also not afraid of the prison of this dictatorial government.”
"We want to tell the BJP government that democracy has two wheels -- one of ruling party and one of opposition. If one wheel slips, the car of democracy will stop there," he said.
