In a letter addressed to President Droupadi Murmu, Rajya Sabha chairman C.P. Radhakrishnan and Chief Justice of India Surya Kant, Brittas sought urgent intervention, accountability and an independent investigation into the alleged assault.
Brittas said he had reached the area at around 12.30 pm after learning that young activists were being assaulted and detained. He alleged that security personnel continued to manhandle him even after he identified himself as a member of Parliament and pointed out that journalists were present.
The MP called for a court-supervised independent investigation and sought the preservation of video recordings, vehicle details, deployment records and other evidence relating to the incident.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, chairperson of the parliamentary standing committee on external affairs, also condemned the alleged mistreatment of Brittas and called for an investigation.
