Delhi is preparing for further protests after leaders of a group referred to as the “cockroach” group were released. Police have said they will continue restricting access to the city centre as tensions remain ahead of possible demonstrations.
About 7,000 people were detained and later released on Saturday, according to police. The detentions came as authorities managed unrest and sought to control access to central parts of the city.
The release of the group’s leaders has added to expectations of further protests. Police have not indicated that restrictions on movement in the city centre will be lifted, saying measures will remain in place as they monitor the situation.
The latest known position is that access controls are continuing and authorities are preparing for more demonstrations. No further details about the group or the planned protests were provided in the supplied material.
