Delhi police are investigating sexual harassment allegations made by three female journalists against police officers during protests in India’s capital, multiple outlets report. The journalists filed complaints connected to policing during demonstrations held against the Election Commission, according to Delhi Police statements cited by the sources.

The protests are described as focusing on alleged issues with India’s electoral rolls and are directed at Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. One report says the complaints are referred to the Crime Branch for further inquiry. Other sources also connect the allegations to the broader incident, noting that hundreds of people are detained during the protests and that opposition leaders criticize the handling of the demonstrations, including police actions.

While all accounts agree on the number of journalists and the fact that Delhi Police are probing the allegations, the outlets vary in emphasis. Some foreground the harassment investigation, while others place it within the wider dispute over election-related grievances and the police response during the protest, including detentions.
