Police detained several protestors, including minors, and demanded removal of social media posts linked to the demonstration, according to reports from The Hindu.
Police arrested multiple protestors during the recent demonstrations against the Chief Justice of India, with reports indicating that some detainees were minors. The arrests were carried out by the local law enforcement agencies in response to the escalating protests.
In addition to detentions, authorities have requested social media users to delete posts related to the protest. The takedown orders were issued to curb the spread of what officials described as potentially inflammatory content.
The Hindu has reported these developments, noting that the police action and social media directives are part of a broader effort to manage the situation. No official statement from the police or the judiciary has yet clarified the legal basis for the detentions or the removal requests.
The protest, which has drawn attention nationwide, continues to attract both supporters and opponents, with the government and judicial bodies closely monitoring the situation.
Lawmakers and civil society groups have called for transparency regarding the arrests and the criteria used to identify posts for removal.
