Delhi Police Ramps Up Perception Campaign Ahead Of Jantar Mantar Protest

The Delhi Police stepped up its social media and cyber warfare strategy ahead of the October 10 protest at Jantar Mantar to counter negative narratives from the July CJP demonstration.

The police identified at least 500 individuals and 200 WhatsApp and Telegram channels used to mobilise people, while tracking 100 independent journalists and 20 associated channels.

Official social media handles are circulating videos of injured personnel, torn uniforms, and senior officials' statements to increase the volume and reach of the police's account.
