On Wednesday, a video had surfaced in which a violent Muslim mob was seen attacking the Delhi Police officers with stones and sticks. It is believed this was the attack which injured DCP Shahdara IPS Amit Sharma and claimed the life of constable Ratan Lal.

Pooja Sharma, the wife of injured Delhi cop DCP Amit Sharma on Thursday said that she was extremely pained to see visuals of women attacking her husband during the anti-Hindu riots in Delhi, reports Times of India.

“My husband had gone to have a dialogue with the protesters. It was a group of only women. They took off his helmet and then the mob attacked him,” said Pooja Sharma. The wife of the injured cop also appealed to the government to take strict action against the rioters. My husband is still recovering from the attack, she added.

DCP Amit Sharma was grievously injured by the Muslim mob along with another Delhi police officer ACP Anuj Sharma on February 24.
