A student affiliated with the National Students’ Union of India has alleged that three or four police personnel beat her inside a Delhi police station during a protest-related detention, including kicking her and laughing while she pleaded that she had done nothing wrong. The allegation was reported by Live Hindustan – NCR on October 13, citing a video shared by NSUI on X.
In the video described by the report, the student allegedly says that the assault took place in an area of the police station without CCTV coverage. She claims that three or four policemen repeatedly hit her and kicked her, despite her telling them that she had not committed any wrongdoing. She also alleges that she did not resist, while the personnel continued to beat her and laughed at her.
The account has not been independently established in the material supplied for this report. The report does not identify the police station, the student by name, the date of the alleged incident or the identities of the personnel involved. It also does not include a response from the Delhi Police, details of a police complaint, a medical examination, an internal inquiry or any court proceeding.
NSUI shared the video on its official X account and alleged that the student had been treated brutally because she was participating in a demonstration. The student organisation described the alleged conduct as unacceptable and questioned whether students could be treated in that manner while raising their rights and democratic concerns.
The report also refers to an earlier video involving another female NSUI worker. According to the report, the footage appeared to show a woman police officer pulling the worker by her hair and taking her towards a bus in which protesters were being detained. The material supplied does not establish when or where that earlier incident occurred, whether it involved the same police unit or whether any official action followed.
The allegations raise questions about how police manage student demonstrations, the safeguards available to people detained during protests and the functioning of CCTV coverage inside police facilities. Areas without camera coverage can make later reconstruction of disputed events more difficult, but the supplied report does not establish whether the alleged incident occurred as described or whether any footage, witness accounts or other records exist.
At this stage, the central claim remains an allegation made by the student and amplified by NSUI. Confirmation would require a response from the Delhi Police, identification of the station and incident date, examination of available CCTV and detention records, and any medical or complaint documentation. No such verification or official next step is included in the supplied material.
