Protesters detained as police tighten security
The protests intensified on Friday, with around 700 people detained in the national capital as protesters attempted to reach Jantar Mantar, according to Delhi Police. Delhi Police had issued prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and stepped up security in the area.
This is totally unacceptable and Aam Aadmi Party criticises this conduct of Delhi Police,” AAP said in its post. “Delhi Policeman was seen punching a non-violent detained GenZ in the face. Police had denied permission for the Jantar Mantar gathering and imposed restrictions across the New Delhi district. AAP and student groups had called for a demonstration at Jantar Mantar on Gandhi Jayanti. The video shared by AAP shows the alleged incident involving the detained protester. The claim made by AAP about the conduct of the police personnel has not been independently established in the material cited here.
