Bengaluru Police Order 2021 'unconstitutional', must be revoked: Vinay Sreenivasa

Rights activist Vinay Sreenivasa has challenged the Bengaluru Police Order 2021 as unconstitutional, alleging it systematically restricts the right to protest in the city.

Sreenivasa contends that the order imposes unjustified curbs on peaceful assembly and demonstration, raising concerns about whether fundamental rights are being eroded through police regulations.

The activist's remarks highlight ongoing tensions between law enforcement and civil liberties advocates over protest regulations in Bengaluru. The debate centres on whether police guidelines strike an appropriate balance between maintaining public order and protecting constitutional freedoms.
