Mumbai, December 25
Filmmaker-music composer Vishal Bhardwaj said he was “disgusted” with reports of vandalism by the Uttar Pradesh Police during violent protests against the amended Citizenship Act last week.
The director also asked whether a “judicial inquiry” will be ordered after reports of police allegedly indulging in vandalism emerged.
Disgusting to see on NDTV what UP police is doing. Breaking CC TVs and Ransacking. Damaging public property. Now what? Will there be a judicial inquiry?
