Protesters clash with police in India over ‘anti-Muslim’ law

Thousands of people have been detained across India for defying a ban on protests against a new citizenship law.

Police have been accused of an abuse of power after claims they dragged unarmed individuals across the floor and beat them with wooden sticks in protests at New Delhi’s Jamia Millia Islamia University on Sunday.
