Indian police accused of sexual harassment against journalists at protest

Three female journalists have accused police officers in India of sexual harassment during street protests in the capital Delhi. The claims were made on Saturday after the force detained scores of young people calling for the resignation of the chief election commissioner. In a post on social media, Delhi Police said its New Delhi District had received the complaint, and it had been transferred to its crime branch for a fair and impartial inquiry. Thousands of protesters gathered in Delhi and Mumbai cities for a third day on Sunday demanding that Gyanesh Kumar step down over large-scale changes to voter rolls. The Election Commission says the exercise is intended to remove duplicate and ineligible entries - and so far, 130 million names have been struck off the voters' list.
