A Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable sustained a minor injury to his right elbow after a protester allegedly attacked him with a knife during a National Students' Union of India (NSUI) protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi on Monday. The incident occurred as the NSUI, the student wing of the Indian National Congress, protested demands for the resignation and arrest of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over allegations of electoral irregularities. According to officials, the CISF constable, identified as Bikram Kumar, was deployed at the protest site for law and order duty. While attempting to take the protester away from a barricade, the individual allegedly struck him with a knife. The protester was subsequently detained, and legal action has been initiated against them, police said. Bikram Kumar described the incident, stating the attacker aimed for his neck but missed, resulting in a slash to his hand. “I was taking the protester from near the barricade, and then he slashed me with the knife. It was intended to slash near my neck, but I was saved, and instead it slashed my hand,” Kumar said. The constable was taken to RML Hospital for treatment and was later discharged after receiving medical care. Delhi Police has registered four FIRs in connection with alleged violence during the NSUI protest, including cases related to the purported stabbing of the CISF personnel, rioting, defacement, and obstruction of public servants. Eighteen individuals were arrested in relation to the alleged violence and presented before court. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and gathering evidence to determine the circumstances surrounding the incident and the roles played by individual protesters. The protest follows ongoing demonstrations in the capital over allegations of irregularities in the electoral process. Over the past few days, several activists and leaders have been detained while protesting near Jantar Mantar. During the protest, participants displayed placards and raised slogans such as “vote ki chori nahi chalegi, janta ki awaaz nahi dabegi” (vote theft will not be tolerated, people’s voice will not be suppressed). NSUI national president Vinod Jakhar led the demonstration, calling for the resignation and arrest of CEC Gyanesh Kumar, who faces accusations of failing to address concerns of “vote chori.”
