Indian police are FAR too soft when dealing with law breakers, look at what is happening in this video- the criminals are being gently pushed away or their hands held it is actually unbelievable to witness. In ANY other country with a proffesional police force the criminals would be slammed to the ground, multiple officers would hold them down to control the situation and they would all be dragged away in handcuffs.
The most Indian police do is a lathi charge, the colonial mindset in the IPS still lingers, even the most basic crowd control techniquies and suspect handling are not applied in India.
@SanjeevM is right, they toned down because of the camera present there.The problem was media cameras were already there. It could be a planned conspiracy. Policemen know that if they take harsh action including Lathis, the media channels would show their faces and once shown using Lathis to beat non violent protesters, they may be suspended.
This scare of media showing their clips and subsequent suspension should go. Only then you can expect real action from police.
when cameras are not around, police behave differently in such cases.
