Jharkhand chief justice panel leaders alleged that eight unidentified men followed their convoy while traveling to Delhi for an anti‑SIR protest.
Jharkhand's chief justice panel leaders have reported that a group of eight men shadowed their convoy as they headed to Delhi for a scheduled anti‑SIR demonstration. The claim was made public through statements to media outlets, highlighting concerns over the safety of the delegation during the journey.
According to the leaders, the men began following the convoy shortly after it left Jharkhand and continued the surveillance up to the outskirts of Delhi. No physical confrontation was reported, but the presence of the followers prompted heightened security measures for the protest participants.
The anti‑SIR protest, organized by civil society groups, is set to take place in Delhi later this week, aiming to voice opposition to the recently introduced SIR (Special Investigation Regime) legislation. Authorities have not confirmed the identity of the eight individuals or any official investigation into the alleged tailing.
The Jharkhand delegation has urged law enforcement agencies to ensure a safe passage for all protestors and to investigate any potential threats. The incident adds a layer of tension to the already charged atmosphere surrounding the upcoming demonstration.
