Television actor Sehban Azim has said he was injured during an alleged police lathi-charge at a CJP protest in New Delhi. According to his account, he was struck several times on his arms and legs while trying to shield friends as the situation turned violent.
Azim had joined the protest for a second straight day. He reportedly said the gathering appeared peaceful and well-organized before the confrontation, suggesting that the atmosphere on the ground did not initially point to the kind of escalation that followed.
His account has drawn attention because of both his public profile and the wider concerns it raises about policing at demonstrations in the capital. The incident also adds to the debate over how crowd-control measures are used when students and other protesters assemble in public spaces.
While details remain limited in the available report, Azim's remarks underline the risks participants can face when protests intensify. The episode has become part of the broader conversation around protest safety and police response in Delhi.
