In an official statement posted on X, Delhi Police clarified that there was no plan to take action against the ongoing protest during the night. The police also urged Kejriwal to avoid sharing information that had not been verified, warning that such claims could create unnecessary confusion."There is no plan of Delhi Police to crack down on the ongoing protest tonight as is being conveyed. You are advised to refrain from spreading or circulating any misleading/unverified information," the Delhi Police stated in its post.
Earlier on Thursday, Kejriwal had expressed concerns over what he described as heightened security arrangements around Jantar Mantar. Posting on X, he claimed that authorities had ordered shops in Connaught Place (CP) to close by 6:30 p.m. and questioned the deployment of ambulances and additional security personnel.
"Order to close all shops in CP by 6:30 PM this evening and intense security. Piles of ambulances. Will the central government once again attack its students at Jantar Mantar today?" Kejriwal wrote.
The exchange comes amid ongoing demonstrations at Jantar Mantar, a site frequently used for public protests in the national capital. While Kejriwal suggested that increased security indicated the possibility of police action, Delhi Police maintained that no such operation was planned and emphasized the importance of relying on verified information.
The situation continues to be closely monitored, with security personnel remaining deployed in the area to maintain law and order as protesters continue their demonstration.
📍 Location: Jantar Mantar, New Delhi
