Delhi Police Imposes Section 163 BNSS Ahead of CJP Protest in New Delhi
Delhi Police has imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) in New Delhi, restricting public gatherings ahead of the Cockroach Janata Party's planned protests demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation. The police denied permission for the protest citing late application and previous rule violations. Section 163, replacing Section 144 of the CrPC, allows preventive orders to avoid disturbances. The CJP's demands include electoral reforms, halting the Special Intensive Revision process, and greater transparency in appointing election officials.
