Delhi Police Remove Name Tags at Jantar Mantar Protests to Avoid Social Media Targeting
Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar protests against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar did not wear name tags to prevent social media targeting, following incidents during July's Cockroach Janta Party march. Officials said officers and their families faced online harassment after being identified. Protesters questioned the missing tags, and police gave varied explanations. The protests relate to alleged irregularities in electoral roll revisions and demands for resignations linked to examination paper leaks. Police justified force used during earlier clashes as necessary after violence.
