Reacting to the post, Delhi police rejected these claims and said on X, “False information is being currently circulated on social media regarding the post's claim that an individual named Geetanjali, a 12-year-old girl, was assaulted, had her hair pulled, sustained a head injury, and approximately 40 to 50 other individuals suffered broken heads. This information is false. The claims being circulated in the posts are not true. Please do not spread or amplify false or misleading information.”

In another post, Saurav Das again claimed, "To be clear: Sonam Wangchuk's partner, @GitanjaliAngmo's hair was pulled. She was assaulted by the Delhi Police. A brutal crackdown is ongoing at Jantar Mantar."


The Delhi Police clarified that they are managing the demonstration with utmost professionalism, dismissing allegations regarding the use of violence or the detention of protesters. Addressing reports from certain media outlets claiming that sporadic force and arrests occurred at Jantar Mantar, the police issued a statement on X confirming that no such incidents took place.

"Some segments from the media have mentioned sporadic use of violence/detentions at Jantar Mantar by Delhi Police. It is informed that no such incident has taken place and the protest is being handled professionally," the police statement on X said.

"All are requested not to fall prey to any rumour/misgivings, and to assist Delhi Police in maintaining peace and public order at and around the site," it added.
