A student protest in New Delhi, India turned violent, Thursday, January 9, after police, wielding batons, charged at demonstrators trying to march towards the president’s residence.
Police detained several students and activists who had gathered to protest an attack at Jawaharlal Nehru University residence hall, Sunday.
Eyewitnesses claimed police had been beating protesters with batons and smashing phones of people filming the violence.
The protests come in reaction to a new citizenship law that critics argue is anti-Muslim. So far, at least two dozen people have been killed in the protests. (AP)
