  "summary": "The United Nations Human Rights office has expressed concern over mass detentions of demonstrators, protest leaders, civil society members, lawyers, and journalists in Delhi during large-scale protests. The UN body called on Indian authorities to respect the right to peaceful assembly, exercise restraint, and immediately release those who had been arbitrarily detained. Reports indicated that over 7,000 people were detained across Delhi, while around 400 were detained in Mumbai. The UN Human Rights urged Indian authorities to ensure law enforcement personnel exercised utmost restraint in responding to peaceful protesters, in line with India's democratic traditions and human rights obligations.",
