The full story

Members of the Revolutionary Workers' Party of India stated they were confined to their office in northeast Delhi's Karawal Nagar ahead of a planned march from Ramlila Maidan to Jantar Maidan against severe air pollution. The organisation alleged that police personnel arrived at the premises, told occupants they could not leave, and attempted to enter forcibly without authorisation to halt the demonstration. The capital's air quality index remained in the very poor category with certain areas recording severe pollution levels. Delhi Police did not respond to requests for confirmation regarding the restrictions or the number of people held.
