Soon, the police's fury turned towards media persons. A few policemen assaulted independent journalist Rahul, grabbed his camera and threw it on the ground in front of my eyes. Then I saw a student being dragged away by a few policemen. I went towards the scene to capture it in my camera. This invited the wrath of police officer Sagar Singh Kalsi, who I later discovered, is an Additional DCP.

He ordered his men to snatch my camera. He had barely finished giving his orders when around 10 constables pounced on me. I tried to explain that I was merely doing my job. But all my protestations were in vain.
