Journalist Paranjoy Guha Thakurta, who was questioned by police on Tuesday, shared his experience about the questioning and behaviour of the police
"The entire staff of Delhi's Special Cell asked me a set of many questions. However, their behaviour was very decent. They asked me for tea and ordered lunch for me as well.
