The Supreme Court convened a special hearing on Sunday, October 11, on petitions challenging mass detentions and restrictions on rail and Metro services imposed during protests in Delhi demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.
A bench of Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V. Mohana was scheduled to hear a petition filed by Rajya Sabha MP and senior advocate Menaka Guruswamy concerning the detention of political leaders, students, journalists, lawyers and others. It was also hearing advocate Shailendra Mani Tripathi’s request for contempt proceedings against Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation chairperson D. Thara.
Tripathi alleged that authorities continued a blanket transit shutdown despite an October 9 Supreme Court order directing that Metro and railway movement should be regulated rather than completely prohibited. Delhi Metro had announced that 45 stations would close from Friday night until Saturday evening, while trains to Delhi were also cancelled and major roads barricaded.
Nearly 2,500 protesters were detained on Saturday, in addition to about 1,000 people taken into preventive custody overnight, Delhi Police sources said. CJP’s Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were released Sunday morning, according to the party’s legal head. Gurugram police said YouTuber Dhruv Rathee was also released without charge.
The CJP called for another protest in Delhi on Sunday over alleged electoral irregularities. The UN human rights office expressed concern about reports of mass detentions, while the Indian government rejected its statement.
