Delhi Police imposed Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) in the New Delhi district and issued a notice under the Delhi Police Act to CJP activist Abhijeet Dipke. Authorities deployed over 6,000 security personnel and Central Armed Police Forces, while Central Park in Connaught Place was closed to the public on October 16 and 17.
The 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march was organized to protest the imprisonment of CJP members Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das, who were detained for hoisting the Tricolour, and to demand the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar over alleged electoral-roll irregularities.
While restrictions and notices were issued against the unauthorized gathering in New Delhi, the Karnataka government clarified that permission had been granted for the peaceful Tiranga march in Bengaluru, where participants gathered at Town Hall to proceed towards the Quit India Memorial.
