Many policemen were also injured in this violence. ACP Anuj Kumar of Gokulpuri was also injured. ACP Anuj himself was on the frontline and in front of him, head constable Ratanlal was martyred. DCP Amit Sharma was lying unconscious on the road in front of ACP Anuj whose ACP saved his life.
ACP injured in violence in Delhi's Gokalpuri has been discharged from the hospital two days ago. He said that we were instructed not to let the road connecting the Signature Bridge with the border of Ghaziabad be blocked, but gradually the crowd started growing and both men and women were involved. They were around 20,000– 25,000, whereas we were only 200. I don't know that they planned to block the road as they had done before.
He told that we talked to him peacefully and asked him to perform on the service road instead of the main road. By then rumors had started circulating that some women and children had lost their lives in police firing. Construction work was going on near the bridge. The protesters suddenly started throwing stones and bricks from there and we were injured, in which DCP sir was also injured and his head was also bleeding.
The ACP said the police fired tear gas shells to disperse the crowd, but the effort failed due to the large distance between the protesters. They said that we were standing at two opposite ends of the road. We did not want to fire because many women were also involved in the protests. He said that my motive was to escape the DCP because he was injured during the stone pelting and his body was bleeding. He said that at the same time we did not want to hurt any protestors.
