Hoodlum at Rajiv Chowk and heavy stone pelting at Jantar Mantar! People angry at this shameful act of protesters, Ruckus at Rajiv Chowk and heavy stone-pelting at Jantar Mantar! People outraged by this shameful act of the protesters.


Rajiv Chowk metro station, which is considered to be the busiest and lifeline of the country’s capital Delhi, suddenly turned into an arena. Thousands of common passengers, who had set out for their offices and homes as usual, were frightened when a large group of protesters entered the station premises and started creating a ruckus. From the metro platform to the interchange lines, the miscreants raised slogans and blocked the way for passengers. Challenging the security cordon of Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and CISF, these protesters completely paralyzed the metro system, causing a major crisis for the safety of passengers for some time.

Violent stone pelting at Jantar Mantar: Open challenge to law and order

Immediately after the uproar at Rajiv Chowk, the situation at Jantar Mantar, the official protest venue of Delhi, became more violent. These miscreants, who claimed to be carrying out a peaceful protest, suddenly turned violent and started pelting heavy stones at the Delhi Police personnel and security forces deployed there. Many policemen have been injured in this violent clash and government properties have also suffered huge damage. At a sensitive place like Jantar Mantar, which is very close to Parliament House and Connaught Place, this kind of blatant hooliganism has exposed the law and order situation of Delhi.

‘Cockroach’ like actions: What is the intention of these protesters who are holding the general public hostage?

After this entire incident, deep anger is being seen on social media and among the general public. Eyewitnesses and intellectuals say that these people, who are making the lives of common citizens hell in the name of their demands, are behaving like ‘cockroaches’, who are gradually hollowing out the most important infrastructure of the city from within. Stopping public transport like metro without any prior notice and then pelting stones at the police cannot be acceptable in any civilized society. Local businessmen and tourists visiting Connaught Place have also demanded the strictest legal action against these unruly elements.

Big action by Delhi Police: Identification of miscreants continues, FIR registered

Delhi Police has taken this violent incident at Jantar Mantar and Rajiv Chowk very seriously. New Delhi District Police has registered an FIR against several unidentified and named protesters under sections of inciting riots, obstructing government work and damaging public property. The footage of all the CCTV cameras installed around the metro station and Jantar Mantar is being scrutinized so that each and every hooligan can be identified and sent behind the bars. Delhi Police has made it clear that any person who plays with the peace and order of the capital will not be spared.
