In New Delhi, a few dozen activists, including CJP supporters, gathered outside a police station on Sunday to demand action over the allegations against officers during protests in the capital on Saturday.
The harassment allegations were made after police detained scores of protesters around the government-designated protest site of Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
“Allegations of sexual harassment were made by three female journalists against police officers,” Delhi police said in a statement, promising “a fair and impartial enquiry”.
In a video posted on social media, a complainant said that a police officer pushed and touched her “inappropriately”.
CJP activist Saurav Das, in a post on social media, said that “a delegation with the victim is inside the police station”.
Dipke said that the accused officer “must be arrested immediately”.
Opposition politicians have accused the ECI of acting at the behest of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
They have said they will march to the Election Commission in New Delhi on Tuesday, and hold “Save Democracy” rallies countrywide afterwards.
The CJP has called for a “massive mobilisation of young Indians” in New Delhi on Oct 10.
