No Protest Allowed At Jantar Mantar: Delhi Cops To Wrestlers

A day after filing cases against protesting wrestlers, accusing them of rioting, the Delhi Police today said the protesters yesterday broke the law in a frenzy despite repeated requests, which is why their protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar, Delhi's designated protest site, was stopped. The sit-in protest by the elite wrestlers was going on smoothly so far, they said. The wrestlers have refuted the charge that they were rioting, or indulged in any violence. Delhi police say, if wrestlers want to stage a sit-in, they will be notified sites other than Jantar Mantar.
