India police face outrage after force used to stop youth march in New Delhi

A July 20 police crackdown on unarmed demonstrators in New Delhi has drawn criticism and accusations that officers used excessive force.

Police in New Delhi used pellet guns, batons and tear gas to break up a youth march on July 20, prompting public anger over how the demonstration was handled. The protesters were unarmed, according to a New York Times analysis of the episode.

The report says the response has led to accusations that officers went too far in stopping the march. It describes the confrontation as part of a wider debate over police tactics in India.

The analysis focuses on the scale and methods of the crackdown rather than the march’s political demands. It places the incident in the context of growing scrutiny of crowd-control practices in the capital.
