The Delhi Police is coercing ‘confessional’ statements to manufacture evidence, and falsely implicating people, including @UmarKhalidJNU
On Sept 1, 2020, Umar Khalid sent a letter to the Delhi
Police Commissioner, Shri SN Shrivastava, with shocking evidence of the Delhi Police manufacturing evidence against him, through extorted statements.
The letter reveals that a young man was interrogated by the Delhi Police (Special Cell) and a false confession against
@UmarKhalidJNU Khalid, related to the Delhi riots, was extracted and videotaped. The young man was
threatened that he would be arrested under UAPA if he refused.
He submitted to the coercion for he was scared, and yet his conscience allowed him to speak up about what had transpired.

This pattern of coerced statements and false evidence is alarming. But more importantly, the silence surrounding the persecution of citizens for exercising their right to dissent and protest.
