Whose Police Is It Anyway?

With violence in Northeast Delhi continuing for last three days, the role of Delhi Police has once again come under question.

There have been visuals which show police has been standing by while rioters are having a free run.

Post anti-CAA protests and whatever happened in Jamia Millia Islamia and Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, Outook had done a cover story looking at the politicization of police. The issue is as much relevant as it was a month ago when we ran it.
