Monday’s mayhem during the ‘Sandad Chalo’ march witnessed strange inaction from the police during the “golden hour”, according to several officers, according to Raj Shekhar Jha's Times of India report.
Although the agitation had been announced well in advance, and both Intelligence Bureau and Delhi Police’s intelligence wing had provided precise, actionable inputs regarding a massive build-up of demonstrators, the command centre remained largely silent during the initial, crucial window when the crowds first began to mobilise.
