Delhi High Court Seeks Police Response on Activist'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 allegations of illegal confinement and surveillance ahead of a planned protest at Jantar Mantar. Khan claims police personnel restricted his movement at his residence and office on September 29 without any written order and subjected him to constant monitoring. The court questioned the legality of police actions, emphasizing the right to conduct duties but questioning the basis for confining Khan. Police deny detaining him and say he traveled recently, seeking time to respond formally.
