Delhi Police has directed all personnel deployed at Jantar Mantar to wear uniforms while on duty. The move came after viral videos showed some officers in civilian clothes carrying fibre canes during the CJP protest. The videos sparked criticism and raised questions about the use of plainclothes personnel during the police action. Officials said senior officers issued verbal instructions on Wednesday, asking all deployed personnel to report in uniform. The controversy also drew political reactions, with opposition leaders demanding answers about the identity of officers seen in civilian clothes. Police have not issued a detailed public statement on the matter.
