NEW DELHI: A police officer reportedly visited a mosque in Old Delhi ahead of the October 10 protest planned by Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), urging residents to avoid joining the demonstration.
According to the initial account, the officer spoke to people present at the mosque and asked them to advise their relatives and family members against participating in the planned gathering. The officer reportedly referred to the administration's ongoing duties and encouraged residents to avoid unnecessary crowds.
The reported interaction comes as preparations continue for the planned protest. Police outreach ahead of public demonstrations may involve communication with residents about crowd management and public safety, although the exact objectives of this particular visit have not been officially established.
It remains unclear whether the appeal was issued under a formal order, whether any specific security concerns were communicated, or whether similar visits took place in other parts of the city.
The details of the planned demonstration, including the organisers' expectations and the administration's position, require further confirmation.
An official statement from the Delhi Police would help clarify the purpose of the reported visit. A response from CJP would also provide additional context regarding the protest and the organisers' plans.
