Hello @SantoshSLadINC sir,

As you know, following the death of Medha Akarsh due to poor road conditions in Hebbagodi, a group of local, concerned citizens had come together for a peaceful spontaneous protest demanding accountability from concerned officials.

It was truly a peaceful protest with some slogans, and now as per multiple reports, the Hebbagodi Police Station is contacting common citizens who participated in that protest and are threatening them with punitive actions only because they dared to raise their voices in the wake of a young woman's death.

Why should FIRs be filed against common citizens for simply raising their voices? Article 19 of the Indian constitution specifically grants citizens the right to protest.

I am aware that due to the Licensing and Regulation of Protests, Demonstrations and Protest Marches (Bengaluru City) Order, 2021, protests in Bengaluru City are restricted to Freedom Park only, but Hebbagodi comes under the Hebbagodi City Municipal Council and not under any limit that could be considered as "Bangalore City"

So these actions of @HebbagodiPS to threaten and punish common citizens for protesting are unconstitutional, undemocratic, and have absolutely no legal basis whatsoever.

I request your intervention in this, and also the attention of @DCP_ECITY and @BlrCityPolice to stop the harassment of citizens with immediate effect

I implore you to instead redirect the focus and might of our police force into investigating the circumstances leading to Medha's death so that all those culpable and responsible can be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

A man rents out his car (worth nearly 9 Lakh Rupees) to another person. The other party takes the vehicle, eventually absconds with it, and cuts contact, effectively committing theft.

Why is it then that @sampigehallips refuses to file an FIR? Why protect these criminals? (1/3)

We just murdered an 84 year old man who had spent his life working for the disadvantaged & marginalised.

It's not just Modi & Shah who have his blood on their hands. Every judge who allowed this ghastly farce, & all of us who failed to stop it, are responsible.

RIP Stan Swamy
