What happened (as raised in letters)
Multiple letter writers reacted to reported cyberbullying and reported lack of police action against harassment of women protesters associated with protests at Jantar Mantar.
The letters describe harassment as a form of online lawlessness and intimidation, and they argue that women protesters who exercised democratic speech rights are then subjected to abuse and harassment.
Claims about police action and harm
The letters converge on two linked concerns:
1) Police response has not been adequate to harassment reports, even when evidence is said to exist.
