Delhi Police Deny Deliberate Placement of Seized Truck Near Jantar Mantar Protest
Delhi Police denied allegations that a truck parked near Jantar Mantar during the July 20 'Chalo Sansad' protest was deliberately placed to obstruct protesters. The vehicle had been seized on July 16 following a road accident and was initially held near Parliament Street Police Station before being moved to a safer location ahead of the protest. The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) raised concerns about the truck carrying stones near the protest site, but police called such claims baseless and urged the public to avoid spreading unverified information. Authorities have also issued notices to social media platforms to remove misleading content related to the protests.
