The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Delhi Police have clarified that only FIRs filed by the police or the state during the 36-day Jantar Mantar protest and the July 20 Parliament march will be withdrawn, not all cases.
- Around 20 FIRs were registered during the movement, of which about five were based on private complaints, including molestation and assault allegations by two women journalists.
- These private complaint cases cannot be withdrawn by the government or police and legal action against the accused will continue.
- The withdrawal of state-filed cases still requires a formal order, the Lieutenant Governor's approval, and a court's final decision.
What to watch next
- Issuance of the formal order for withdrawing government-filed FIRs, which had not been released by Monday evening
- Delhi LG's approval of the police proposal to withdraw prosecution in state-filed cases
- Court decisions on the withdrawal applications and progress in the private complaint cases involving journalists
