A day after clearing their sit-in site, the Delhi police on Monday said wrestlers will be allowed to demonstrate at any suitable place in the city other than Jantar Mantar.

“On Sunday, the protesters flouted the law, ignoring our repeated requests. Hence, we cleared the site and ended the dharna. If the wrestlers will apply for permission to stage their sit-in again in the future, they will be allowed to do so at any suitable notified place other than Jantar Mantar,” the deputy commissioner of police (New Delhi) tweeted in Hindi.
