Rapid Action Force Deployment During Delhi Protests Explained
The Rapid Action Force (RAF), a specialised wing of the Central Reserve Police Force, was deployed alongside Delhi Police during the Cockroach Janta Party protests in Connaught Place. Established in 1992, the RAF supports local police in managing public disorder, including riots and large demonstrations, by providing rapid response and crowd control. Its deployment aims to prevent escalation and maintain order, often serving as a precautionary measure rather than indicating imminent violence.
