Newslaundry Accuses Delhi Police of Conspiracy
Newslaundry published a report accusing Delhi Police of keeping a dumper truck full of stones near the Parliament station to frame or provoke protesters during a march by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP).
The report suggests that the police planned to use the stones to incite violence.
However, the Delhi Police argue that the truck was seized as part of a routine investigation following an accident and was not positioned to provoke protesters.
The accident occurred on July 16, injuring seven people, and the truck was moved as part of standard police procedure.
Newslaundry's report lacks evidence to support its claims and relies on insinuation rather than facts.
The real issue, according to the Delhi Police, is who attacked the police during the protest, not the presence of the truck.
