New Delhi, Oct 10: The detention of YouTuber Dhruv Rathee occurred at his residence in Sector 56, Gurugram, early Saturday as law enforcement agencies moved to enforce local restrictions concerning a planned gathering in New Delhi. Authorities from neighboring jurisdictions indicated that multiple discussions took place at the location to encourage adherence to safety guidelines and prevent movement toward the capital, where permissions for the demonstration were not granted.
According to police accounts, the decision to detain the individual came after repeated appeals to remain at the residence were declined. Officials noted that the deployment of local and central forces around the capital aimed to preserve public safety amid concerns over potential disruptions related to the CJP protest concerning electoral roll procedures.
Demonstration organizers expressed strong criticism regarding the enforcement measures through official digital channels, characterizing the actions as an effort to restrict public assembly and democratic expression. The group reiterated calls for the release of all individuals affected by the security sweep, while law enforcement personnel maintained their presence around the Gurugram residence to monitor the situation.
