Delhi Police Crackdown Shifts Protests from Jantar Mantar
On October 10, 2026, Delhi Police and paramilitary forces imposed a strict crackdown on protesters, sealing central Delhi with heavy police presence and barricades. Metro stations, schools, colleges, and markets were closed. Youth organizations moved demonstrations to locations like Safdarjung flyover, Dilli Haat, and Raj Ghat. Hundreds attempting to reach Jantar Mantar were detained and taken to detention centers on the city outskirts. Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita was enforced to maintain order.
