Delhi Protests: SC Moved Against Protester Detentions, Police Action & Metro Closures

Petitions have been moved in the Supreme Court concerning the alleged illegal detention of protesters in Delhi. A plea filed by a Member of Parliament alleges the abduction, house arrest, and illegal detention of student leaders, lawyers, politicians, and citizens, alongside the use of excessive force and sexual harassment of female protesters by police. The plea highlights the closure of metro stations and suspension of railway services as violations of directives mandating proportionate curbs without blanket transport shutdowns. Three petitions, including habeas corpus and contempt pleas, seek court intervention over disproportionate police measures and the detention of journalists and lawyers outside the court.
