Delhi police de-notify Jantar Mantar protest site; CJP leaders detained

Delhi police de-notified Jantar Mantar as a protest venue on October 12, 2026, and detained three CJP leaders (Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka, Ajinkya Shinde) near the site. The move signals a tightening of protest space in the capital, with CJP spokesperson Dipke stating they 'cannot de-notify resistance.' The immediate impact is on domestic civil liberties and political mobilization, with potential for broader unrest.
