Delhi Police Excess on Protesters, police use lathis and tear gas to stop march

Delhi Police Excess: The Mind-Blowing Truth

Key Takeaways: Delhi Police Excess

Constitutional Rights vs. Police Action: Although Article 19(1)(b) protects the right to assemble peacefully, recent state crackdowns have effectively bypassed these fundamental safeguards.
Prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the BNSS (formerly Section 144) were used to turn the capital into a fortress and justify widespread detentions.
Judicial intervention became necessary when the Supreme Court of India stepped in to scrutinize arbitrary detentions and the routine banning of public gatherings.
Public life was heavily disrupted as transit corridors, multiple metro station gates, and business hubs were locked down during security operations.
The state apparatus routinely uses preventive detention tools to round up activists, journalists, and student leaders long before protests occur.
Dawn arrests and plane detentions of prominent digital content creators often backfire, giving commentators unprecedented viral publicity instead.
Traders and local business owners suffered massive financial losses, leading trade groups to file legal petitions against urban lockdown measures.
Historical precedents reveal that modern state suppression closely mirrors the tactics used during the 1975 Emergency under Indira Gandhi.
State excess cuts across political lines, as ruling parties across Congress, BJP, TMC, and regional governments consistently use police power against dissent.
In the world's largest democracy, the ultimate check on authoritarian state action remains the power of the ballot box during elections.
