Delhi HC denies relief to Swatantra Bhardwaj in Jantar Mantar case

The Delhi High Court declined to grant relief to Swatantra Bhardwaj, who was arrested by Delhi Police in Uttar Pradesh for his alleged role in the Jantar Mantar protest case. His counsel argued that the Supreme Court had quashed all FIRs against him, but police countered that the FIR remained active. The court directed Delhi Police to clarify the FIR's status and extended Bhardwaj's judicial custody by fourteen days.
