NSA power for Delhi Police Commissioner amid Jantar Mantar protests: What this means
The Delhi Lieutenant Governor issued an order allowing the Commissioner of Police to exercise powers under the National Security Act (NSA) from July 19 to October 18. The Delhi Police clarified that this renewal is a routine administrative action, predating the recent Jantar Mantar protests, and not linked to them. The NSA has faced criticism for its preventive detention powers, but police emphasized that no special request was made related to the protests.
