Delhi Police put up barricades in Jantar Mantar; wrestlers not permitted to protest there any longer
New Delhi: Security around the Jantar Mantar has been beefed up and barricades put up in the area, following the scuffle between the wrestlers and the Delhi Police on Sunday.
The Delhi Police on Sunday cleared the area where the wrestlers had been protesting, demanding the arrest of Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, the president of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI).
The police also said that the protesting wrestlers would not be permitted to return to the area.
Suman Nalwa, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Delhi, said that the wrestlers would be permitted to stage a sit-in protest if they submitted an application. “They will be allowed to protest at a place other than the Jantar Mantar,” she added.
“The wrestlers protesting at the Jantar Mantar were provided all possible facilities the last 38 days by the Delhi Police. Yet, on Sunday, the wrestlers violated the law in spite of requests made to them. They were detained but released by Sunday evening,” said the senior police officer.
