Delhi High Court Seeks Police Report on Activist Nadeem Khan's Alleged Illegal Confinement
The Delhi High Court has sought a status report from Delhi Police regarding civil rights activist Mohammad Wasiq Nadeem Khan's allegation of illegal confinement on September 29 to prevent his participation in a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar. Khan claims police personnel stayed at his residence-cum-office for several hours without showing any detention order and subjected him to constant surveillance and phone calls. The court questioned the police's actions, emphasizing the need for legal justification for restricting Khan's movement, while police denied detaining him and cited protest permission denial.
