Alwar councillors allege police intimidation, warn ‘take them but do not murder democracy’

Jully, a political figure from Alwar district in Rajasthan, has publicly claimed that police officials are exerting undue pressure on the city’s elected councillors. The allegation was made during a recent gathering of local representatives, where Jully warned that while authorities may detain officials, they must not undermine the democratic process.

According to Jully, the police actions appear aimed at influencing council decisions and silencing dissent within the municipal body. He urged the police to refrain from any measures that could be perceived as an attack on democratic institutions.

The statement has drawn attention from state political observers, who note that any perceived interference with elected bodies could fuel tensions between law‑enforcement agencies and local governance structures. No official response from the police department has been recorded as of now.

The incident underscores ongoing concerns about the balance of power between administrative agencies and elected representatives in Rajasthan’s smaller districts. Further developments are expected as the council deliberates on the matter.
