Jantar Mantar packed, fresh clashes at Tolstoy Marg

What happened

Large crowds gathered at Jantar Mantar in central Delhi, and the protest activity spread to fresh clashes near Tolstoy Marg. Delhi Police used tear gas as the situation became volatile and later began collecting CCTV footage and mobile data to trace crowd movement and establish responsibility.

Why the incident matters

Jantar Mantar is a recurring protest site in Delhi, so disturbances around the area raise familiar questions about the management of demonstrations in a dense urban space. The use of tear gas, route control, and post-incident digital evidence collection together show how policing now combines physical crowd-control measures with forensic reconstruction.
