Delhi HC To Hear Plea Claiming CJP Protest Backed By Foreign Funding

The court’s move comes a day after it sought responses from the Centre and Delhi Police on pleas seeking an inquiry into alleged police excesses during the demonstrations.

The matter was mentioned before the court by advocate Barun Sinha, appearing for petitioner Satish Kumar Aggarwal, former vice-president of the Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha, who urged that the plea be taken up on Friday.

Sinha submitted that the “so-called student agitation” had effectively “made the entire Delhi hostage” and that road blockades caused by the protests had severely inconvenienced city residents.
