Hundreds of Rajput Karanī Sena supporters gathered in Ratlam demanding the release of their national president and other detainees after the Swarn Nyay Yatra was stopped, prompting a heavy police deployment.
Hundreds of members of the Rajput Karanī Sena converged on a central point in Ratlam after authorities halted the Swarn Nyay Yatra, a campaign that the group says is aimed at addressing longstanding grievances.
The protesters, led by the organisation's national president Jeevan Singh, demanded the immediate release of Singh and other detained activists, alleging that the arrests were politically motivated.
In response, a large contingent of police forces was deployed around the protest site, establishing barricades and issuing orders to disperse. The security presence remained throughout the day, preventing the crowd from advancing further.
Local officials declined to comment on the specifics of the arrests, but confirmed that law‑and‑order measures were being taken to avoid any escalation of the demonstration.
The incident underscores rising tensions in Madhya Pradesh over the government's handling of public movements that challenge its policies.
