The Aam Aadmi Party claims that police declared a 'black emergency' and detained protestors ahead of a scheduled Chief Justice of India protest.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has alleged that police officials declared a 'black emergency' and detained protestors ahead of a planned protest against the Chief Justice of India (CJP) in New Delhi. The protest, scheduled for 10 October, was expected to gather thousands of supporters from across the city.
According to AAP spokespersons, the detentions occurred in the early hours of the day, with several protestors reportedly taken to undisclosed locations. The party claims that the police action was an attempt to curb the demonstration before it could commence.
Police officials have yet to issue a formal statement regarding the allegations. No independent sources have confirmed the detentions, and the police have not released any details about the number of protestors involved.
The incident has raised concerns among opposition parties and civil society groups about the use of emergency powers for crowd control. AAP has called for an inquiry into the police conduct and the circumstances leading to the alleged 'black emergency' declaration.
