The Rouse Avenue Court convicted Congress leader Alka Lamba on May 25, 2026, of obstructing public servants during a 2024 Jantar Mantar protest supporting women's reservation. The case stems from events ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, with earlier rulings upholding charges in December 2025 and February 2026. Reports from The Hindu and Times of India agree on the conviction and main charge but differ on protest timing, additional charges, and sentencing dates.
