Delhi Police Remove Name Tags at Jantar Mantar Protests Citing Social Media Risks
Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar did not wear name tags to avoid social media targeting, a measure taken after officers faced online identification following July 20 violence during the Cockroach Janta Party march. Protesters demanded the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over exam paper leaks. Police used tear gas and baton charges to disperse demonstrators who tried to breach barricades, stating force was necessary after violence erupted.
