Key Questions Answered
Bengaluru Police denied permission for the march because the organisers planned to hold it at Town Hall, whereas a High Court order strictly designates Freedom Park as the official site for protests.
The march was scheduled to begin at Town Hall on Friday at 4 pm and conclude at the Quit India Memorial.
CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka were sent to five-day judicial custody in Tihar Jail on October 14 for allegedly violating their peace bonds and trespassing into Jantar Mantar in Delhi, which is a denotified protest area.
