Supreme Court to hear on Sunday plea against violation of order on Delhi curbs, detention of Opposition leaders
A special Bench comprising Justices Bagchi and Mohana will hear the matter. The plea alleges that authorities failed to comply with the court’s directions
The Delhi Police clarified on Saturday after videos surfaced on social media showing cops entering the premises of Gurdwara Bangla Sahib wearing shoes. The authorities explained that the officials were merely walking through a common passage used by all devotees to reach the Gurdwara's entry point. They shared a video of the Bangla Sahib, outlining that devotees remove their shoes before entering the place of worship, following the same process as the officials.
The Delhi Police emphasized that the video circulating on social media had a "malicious intent" and sought to "outrage the feelings of a respectable religious community." They stated that legal action would be taken against those spreading the video in an unfavorable light. The incident occurred as Delhi Police were patrolling outside the Gurdwara in response to protesters participating in an anti-CEC agitation called by the Cockroach Janta Party on October 10.
