CJP leadership remains detained as Delhi Police intensifies crackdown

Delhi Police have released the majority of individuals detained during a broad security crackdown across the national capital, according to reports. However, key figures from the Concerned Justice Platform (CJP) have not been released, with activists Abhijeet Dipke and Dhruv Rathee among those remaining in custody.

The differential release of detainees has intensified tensions around the police operation. The CJP has renewed its calls for action, citing what it characterizes as broken commitments regarding the handling of those taken into custody. The organization has alleged that authorities have not honoured assurances made during the detention process.

Delhi Police have attributed their actions to maintaining law and order, framing the operation as a necessary security measure. Officials have pointed to what they describe as unfulfilled undertakings by detained individuals as justification for continuing to hold certain detainees.

The selective detention continues to draw scrutiny from civil liberties advocates and opposition voices in Delhi, who have questioned the transparency and legal basis for distinguishing between those released and those held. The situation highlights broader questions about detention protocols and due process during large-scale police operations in the national capital.
