Delhi Police Restrict Protests Against CEC Gyanesh Kumar

Authorities have heightened security and suspended internet services around Delhi’s Jantar Mantar following a denied protest permit against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Police barricaded the site and detained Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bharadwaj as crowds gathered on Gandhi Jayanti.

Delhi Traffic Police issued an advisory warning of diversions near Connaught Place and Parliament Street, urging commuters to avoid the area. Concurrently, Citizens for Justice and Peace founder Abhijeet Dipke faces similar restrictions for a planned demonstration at Mumbai’s Shivaji Park, as activists continue to demand the CEC’s resignation.
