Policemen seek numbers as stirs ‘more violent now’ Updated: Updated: When clashes began on R-Day, officers gathered in despair and resignation: DCP Share Article When clashes began on R-Day, officers gathered in despair and resignation: DCP Following the violence that erupted in the Capital on Republic day, Delhi Police officers have become a worried lot. Many officials feel that it has become a public perception that a protest is only successful when the police is beaten up. “We are not left with an ounce of self-respect” — is a common feeling among some policemen after January 26. A Sub-Inspector (SI), who was posted at ITO during the violence, said looking at the video of policemen jumping from the wall at Red Fort, he was reminded of the Jallianwala Bagh incident. “This was probably how and why people jumped into the well. Thankfully, here police officials didn’t die,” he said.
