Action And FIRs

Delhi Police registered at least 10 FIRs regarding assaults on protesters during recent demonstrations in the national capital following pressure from citizens, activists, and media organizations. Police arrested a suspect named Gaurav after an FIR was filed at the Connaught Place police station on October 13. Four other people were arrested at the Kamla Market police station under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections for assaulting protesters, including a minor girl.

Protests And Political Reactions

Samyukt Kisan Morcha farmers' groups plan to march to Delhi on October 23 to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls. Meanwhile, actor-activist Prakash Raj stated that peaceful protests against the CEC and SIR would continue. Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal responded to Union Minister Rajnath Singh's remarks on regime change, stating that citizens want a change in government.

Context

The Special Executive Magistrate Court handles preventive legal actions under local policing laws rather than regular criminal trials. Protests centered around election body decisions often draw heavy police deployment and subsequent legal filings under laws like the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
