Delhi protests: Six police personnel injured as 1,000 protesters detained

Six Delhi Police personnel, including a female member of the Pink Force, sustained injuries during the detention of around 1,000 protesters in different parts of New Delhi district on Saturday, with instances of stones being hurled at the security personnel at at least two places, an officer said.

The injured personnel were rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment, the officer said, adding that the circumstances in which they were injured are being ascertained.

Suman, a member of the Pink Force, told PTI that her finger got fractured while she was detaining protesters near the Hanuman temple at Commaught Place.

"A protest was taking place near the Hanuman temple, where a crowd of around 100 to 150 people had gathered.

We detained the protesters, during which some women twisted my finger, resulting in a fracture," she said.

She added that the women were detained.

"But I cannot identify who specifically twisted my finger as it is difficult to pinpoint an individual in a large crowd.
