 New Delhi/February 10 (Scoop News) –The Delhi Union of Journalists (DUJ) condemns the unwarranted and blatantly illegal action of the Delhi Police in detaining renowned journalist and well known writer, Iftikhar Gilani and the harassment to his family on February 9, 2013,said in a statement.

In a statement DUJ take stern note of the fact that this is not the first time that Gilani has been subjected to this sort of agony and trauma.

The Commissioner’s office informed that the Commissioner was unavailable, while other officers played hide and seek.
