Delhi Police urged the public not to share or amplify unverified information and advised citizens to rely only on official updates.
The clarification comes amid a series of misleading claims linked to the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar.
Earlier, Delhi Police had also rejected social media allegations that personnel opened fire or pelted stones during the protest, saying videos being circulated online were falsely linked to the demonstration.
“The claim alleging that the Delhi Police was firing or pelting stones is false and misleading. No such incident took place. The video is being circulated with a false narrative to mislead the public, and it is not from the Jantar Mantar protest,” Delhi Police said in an earlier post on X.
Delhi Police also rejected a claim by Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) spokesperson Saurav Das that three youths were detained at Nizamuddin Police Station for carrying food to protesters.
The claim of boys being detained at Nizammudin Police station for carrying food to Jantar Mantar is FALSE and MISLEADING.

According to Delhi Police, the vehicle carrying the youths was stopped as part of routine identity verification at a checkpost. The force said the driver left the spot before the verification process was completed and that officers were unaware the food was meant for protesters until after he had left.
Delhi Police appealed to citizens not to believe or share unverified posts, warning that the spread of misinformation could create unnecessary panic and confusion.
