Following the July 20 Sansad Chalo protest, Delhi police examined backgrounds of 2,873 individuals present at and around Jantar Mantar, finding 989 with prior criminal records including 101 linked to murder cases and 284 to robbery or dacoity. Supported data from Times of India and Hindustan Times confirm these figures, while additional categories such as arms violations and sexual offenses appear only in single-source reporting. Perspectives differ on whether the exercise reflects legitimate security measures or selective scrutiny of dissent.
