What happened
An internal police review says protest-related violence occurred at four locations, with the first clash reported at Sansad Marg in New Delhi.
The review states that police personnel were attacked, the situation escalated beyond a peaceful demonstration, and officers sustained injuries during the sequence of events.
Background and earlier position
Protest policing in India sits at the intersection of Article 19 freedoms and the State’s responsibility to maintain public order. In sensitive central Delhi locations such as Sansad Marg, police planning is expected to account for crowd diversion, escalation control, and protection of institutions.
