Delhi Police defend restrictions on planned protest at Jantar Mantar

Delhi Police has restricted a planned protest by the Cockroach Janta Party at Jantar Mantar.

The police say the site can hold only 1,000 people at a time and point to violence at a past protest.

They say organisers need permission so officials can plan crowd control, traffic and emergency access.

The restrictions are meant to balance the right to protest with safety and daily life in the city.
