Jantar Mantar Student Protest Case: Delhi Police Said – History-Sheeters Had Also Come | Capital TV
The Delhi Police has officially rejected allegations regarding the use of excessive force against student demonstrators at Jantar Mantar. In a submission before the Supreme Court, law enforcement authorities clarified their stance on the controversial handling of the recent protests in the national capital. According to the police affidavit, the situation at the protest site escalated not solely due to the students, but because history-sheeters and anti-social elements had infiltrated the gathering to create unrest. Officials maintained that security personnel exercised necessary restraint while managing the crowd and ensuring public safety. The apex court is currently reviewing the conflicting claims presented by both the student protesters and the police department regarding the events of that day. Further legal scrutiny is expected as the judicial proceedings continue to examine the actions taken by law enforcement during the demonstration.
Delhi Police has now denied allegations of excessive force against student protesters at Jantar Mantar in the Supreme Court. In a counter-affidavit filed with the court, the Delhi Police stated that during the protest, the crowd attempted to break through multiple layers of barricades and advance toward Parliament. Following this, the situation became unpeaceful, and force was used in a phased manner to control the crowd. However, the police have denied allegations of excessive force against the protesters.
