Union Home Secretary Apologizes to Supreme Court Over Delhi Internet Shutdown
Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan tendered an unconditional apology to the Supreme Court over the October 10 Delhi internet shutdown and related restrictions during protests by the Cockroach Janata Party. The government defended the temporary suspension of cellular internet within a 4-km radius of Raisina Hill as a proportionate measure to maintain public order. Mohan requested the court to discharge contempt notices and sought modification of its order to allow internet suspensions in necessary situations, subject to legal safeguards. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the matter further.
