Permission Refused for October 10
Delhi Police has refused the Cockroach Janta Party protest planned at Jantar Mantar on October 10. The call concerns accountability of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and alleged vote theft.
Joint Commissioner Nupur Prasad said an intimation from co-convener Saurabh Das reached New Delhi district on October 7. Police treated the notice as short of the 10-day guideline. Prasad also cited earlier non-compliance with lawful directions and undertakings, plus public safety, law and order, and traffic.
Police Deployment Logged
- Section 163 BNSS: Prohibitory orders in New Delhi district. DCP Shrishti Pandey said protests are not permitted at Jantar Mantar or elsewhere while the orders hold. Unauthorised assembly can draw legal action.
- Blocking plan: Indian Express reports 37 blocking points in New Delhi district and detention centres in all 15 districts. Districts ordered to stop travellers inside their own jurisdiction.
- Briefing: Commissioner Anurag Kumar held a senior-officer meeting on Thursday. Units told to report at assembly points at 11:00 AM.
- Restrictions window: Proposed limits from 9:00 PM on October 9 until the situation normalises on October 10.
"This time the permission is rejected; it is not approved."
Metro and Transit Reports
A communication circulating on October 9 names 57 Delhi Metro stations for possible gate closure, including Rajiv Chowk, Central Secretariat, Patel Chowk, Janpath, New Delhi, Mandi House, ITO, Kashmere Gate, INA, and Hauz Khas. NewsDrum and local posts carried the list. Separate posts claimed train cancellations at New Delhi and Hazrat Nizamuddin between 4:00 AM and 2:00 PM on October 10. Those rail claims are not confirmed in police or railway statements reviewed.
UNI logged the denial and prohibitory orders as a news alert. A clip from Old Delhi showed an officer using a mosque loudspeaker to ask people not to join the October 10 gathering.
Prior Site Record
Das had filed the October 10 intimation at Parliament Street PS on October 7, framed as notice, not a permission request. Ranka had earlier said NSA action against Dipke, Das, and Ranka was expected before the date.
