High Court's Order on Protest Permission

Dr. Raj Shekhawat, president of Karni Sena, had filed a petition seeking permission for a peaceful protest at Jantar Mantar against the new rules of the University Grants Commission. He proposed the protest from 10 am to 1 pm on September 6. The court suggested changing the date of the protest and listed the case for hearing before the regular bench on Monday. The police cited security reasons and preparations for the BRICS summit as grounds for denying permission. The petitioner stated that the protest site and the summit venue are different and no procession or march will be taken out during the protest.

Attack on Sanjay Kumar and Police Investigation

During a protest by the Cockroach Janata Party at Jantar Mantar, Dalit youth Sanjay Kumar was attacked. According to police, Sanjay suffered a head injury due to a blow during the clash.
