As per a senior police officer, the woman was asked to go to Jantar Mantar to continue her protest. When she refused, she was taken to the Parliament Street Police Station in a police vehicle and was seen sobbing, police said.

Police said that after some officers heard her grievances, she was released from the police station.

The woman said that she wanted to meet the officials of the government.

Taking it to Twitter, Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal raised the protesting woman ordeal. She said, “When a woman disturbed by the Hyderabad rape case tried to raise her voice, the Delhi Police beat her taking in custody. I met the girl at the police station, she is scared. Will the one who raise voice be treated in this way?”

हैदराबाद के दर्दनाक रेप घटना से परेशान एक छात्रा ने जब अपनी आवाज़ उठानी चाही तो उसे हिरासत में लेकर दिल्ली पुलिस ने थाने में मारपीट की।

थाने में लड़की से मिली। लड़की सहमी है, क्या आवाज़ उठाने वालों के साथ ये हश्र किया जाएगा?
