What happened

Delhi Police registered six First Information Reports after a protest march linked to the Aam Aadmi Party and a Parliament-related demonstration. The police said the march was being examined not only as a law-and-order matter but also as a possible case of wider planning behind the mobilisation.

Investigators are checking who organised the march, how participants were mobilised, and whether any restrictions were violated. Delhi Police are also examining CCTV footage, social media material, and eyewitness accounts.

UPSC may connect the Delhi Police investigation to public order under the constitutional scheme, the balance between the right to protest and restrictions in the interest of public safety, and the role of police in politically charged demonstrations. A mains answer can examine proportionality, due process, and the need to distinguish peaceful dissent from unlawful mobilisation.
