Despite the government denying permission for a protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ramkka arrived at the location. Delhi police subsequently took both of them into custody.
Abhijit Deepke, the founder of CJP, disclosed this information in his social media post. He stated that Delhi police arrested Saurav Das, the principal spokesperson for CJP, and Ashutosh Ramkka, the national spokesperson.
The government had previously refused permission for a protest to be held at Jantar Mantar. Nevertheless, these arrests occurred after the CJP leaders reached the protest site.
This incident is sparking a discussion about the right to protest in the nation's capital. The event clearly indicates that authorities are taking strict action against those who protest without government permission.
People in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are also closely observing these developments in the national capital. This incident is fueling a discussion on the importance of protests in a democracy.
