Delhi Police personnel were removing identity badges before detaining protesters: CPI MP to Amit Shah
CPI MP Sandosh Kumar told Home Minister Amit Shah that Delhi police were removing officers' identity badges before arresting demonstrators. He cited Supreme Court guidelines and the police’s Standing Order No. 51, arguing that visible identification is needed for accountability whenever police use coercive measures. The comments were made in a Rajya Sabha session, stressing that badge removal harms transparency.
