Indian Journalists Union seeks investigation into attacks on reporters in Delhi

The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The Indian Journalists Union has condemned alleged attacks and intimidation of journalists covering student protests at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi and elsewhere.
In a joint statement on July 24, 2026, IJU leaders said reporters were attacked by both security forces and protesters, and criticised the reported use of shock batons and pellet guns.
The union also raised concerns about RAF and Delhi Police personnel allegedly deployed in civilian clothes without name badges, making identification difficult.
It urged protesters not to target field reporters over their organisations' perceived editorial stances, called the attacks anti-democratic, and asked media organisations to introspect on eroding credibility and public trust.
