| Deutsche Welle | INDIA NEWS: JHARKHAND STUDENT LEADER HOSPITALIZED AFTER POLICE USE FORCE | 1 hr ago |
A student leader in Jharkhand, Devendra Nath Mahto, was hospitalized after police used force against protesters, including tear gas, batons, and water cannons, according to Deutsche Welle. This incident occurred during a march to the state Assembly, where Mahto had been on a nine-day hunger strike. The use of force by police has been denounced as 'inhuman' by the CJP.
The protest was related to government jobs, with young Indians demanding action from the government, as reported by The Guardian. The situation has also led to a face-off between NDA and India Bloc MPs outside parliament, discussing the Jharkhand police action and other issues, according to India Latest News. However, details on the exact number of protesters and injuries are limited.
The incident highlights the ongoing tensions between the government and protesters in India, particularly over issues like employment and police action. The use of force by police has sparked criticism and concerns about human rights and the right to protest.
