“A uniform does not make a person feel less pain. Behind every badge is a beating heart, a family and a promise to serve. Seeing on-duty police personnel assaulted is deeply disturbing. Disagreement can have a voice. Violence should never have a place,” read the post.

Inspector Nand Kishore Singh, who got injured during the violence at Jantar Mantar, alleged that he was attacked while performing his official duties.
“I was on duty at Jantar Mantar… All of them had lathis and stones in their hands. When they saw me, they shouted ‘Maaro Police walo ko’. They started beating me. They also robbed me and took away my gold chain and wallet, which had my IDs,” Singh said.
Led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), protests have been going on at the Jantar Mantar in the national capital regarding the NEET paper leak issue, with demonstrators demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over the examination irregularities.
