I had gone to participate in the protest in support of the students. Two of my female friends who had come from Mumbai were also present there. While trying to save them from the lathicharge, I got injured. My hand is swollen. The police also lathicharged me several times on my hands, legs and other parts of the body.” The actor further said, “We could not even reach inside Jantar Mantar, where the actual protest was taking place. The police had barricaded all around. They surrounded us in the middle and then started lathi charge. They did not care about whom they were lathicharged on. There were children, there were women, but no one was spared.” The actor further alleged that the police action seemed completely planned and its aim was to forcefully remove the crowd from there. He said, “I felt that this lathi charge was deliberate. They just wanted us all to leave from there. My heart hurts for the children who had come to participate in this protest. Many students had traveled for several days by trains and buses. Sehban claimed that many people participating in the protest were injured. He said, “Policemen brutally beat the protesters. Many people were bleeding from their bodies.

What happened with the students is very wrong. I appeal to the authorities to listen to the demands of the students. I have been called ‘anti-national’ many times too. I can’t even talk about it openly. Kangana said on Monday that the public is trying to put pressure on the issues.
