CAA protests: activists accuse UP police of assaulting Muslims

Human rights activists have accused the Uttar Pradesh Police of targeting Muslims in the aftermath of protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act that took place in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh. A civilian fact-finding team, which includes prominent activists like John Dayal, Kavita Krishnan and Harsh Mander, has claimed to have proof that violence during the agitation was incited by the state police and that the Muslims in the area were tortured. A number of videos and pictures shared in a series of tweets and Facebook posts by the activists purportedly show Muslims being targeted.
