NEW DELHI: Additional DCP New Delhi Manjeet Sheoran on Friday urged journalists to maintain a distance from protesters while covering demonstrations. He alleged that some media personnel join protests and obstruct police work."Some protestors come one day as a journalist and come the other day as a protestor. We keep appealing to them that you keep a little distance from the protestors, cover it from a distance. But still, they come in between and put obstacles in our work," Sheoran said."Journalism has its role; journalism is not to be rolled," Delhi police said in a post on X.This comes amid allegations that people are being forcibly removed from trains, picked up from their homes and taken to undisclosed locations to prevent them from joining protests."People are being dragged off trains, forcibly picked up from their homes and taken to unknown locations.
