Parliament session, CJP rally plan key reasons for Wangchuk’s removal
Delhi Police shifted Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar before the Monsoon Session of Parliament, citing security concerns and a planned CJP rally over the NEET paper leak.
- Delhi Police moved Sonam Wangchuk from Jantar Mantar before the Monsoon Session of Parliament because police feared a law-and-order problem near Parliament House.
- Sonam Wangchuk’s wife said the Delhi High Court had only asked for regular health monitoring and had not ordered the removal described by police.
- A CJP rally was planned to demand Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak controversy.
Delhi Police shifted Sonam Wangchuk away from Jantar Mantar before the Monsoon Session of Parliament. The action matters because it connects protest management, public order, and security around Parliament House.
Police feared a law-and-order problem near Parliament House, especially because a CJP rally was planned to demand Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation over the NEET paper leak controversy. Wangchuk’s wife disputed the police explanation and said a Delhi High Court order only required regular health monitoring.
Police personnel in civilian clothes posed as medical staff, covered the dais, and escorted Wangchuk away so that any confrontation would not go viral. The removal is described as one of the first major tasks of the new police commissioner.
UPSC may use the Delhi Police action to test the balance between the right to protest, public order, and judicial oversight in the National Capital Territory of Delhi. A Mains question can also connect the episode to institutional accountability in handling the NEET paper leak controversy and to proportional policing near Parliament during a session.
