Delhi Police Denies House Arrest Claims Against Deepender Hooda Amid Protest Plans
Delhi Police denied claims that Congress leader Deepender Hooda or any other politician was placed under house arrest, calling such reports misleading and baseless. The police urged the public to avoid sharing unverified information. This clarification followed plans by the Cockroach Janta Party to hold a protest demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and opposing the Special Intensive Revision exercise. Delhi Police also denied permission for the protest at Jantar Mantar, citing past law and order issues and increased security measures ahead of the planned demonstration.
