Meanwhile, a significant police presence remained deployed at several locations across the national capital.

Most Protest Detainees Released

Delhi Police have released the detainees held at detention centres, except CJP leaders Dipke, Das and Ranka, according to police sources. The sources said due legal process would be followed in the cases involving the three leaders.

CJP Plans To Continue Agitation

Despite the reopening of Metro stations, the CJP has indicated that its protest will continue. National Organisation In-charge Ajinkya Shinde said the agitation would continue until Gyanesh Kumar resigns and that party members would return to Jantar Mantar on Sunday.

The organisation has also called for protests against alleged electoral roll irregularities to continue across the country until the Chief Election Commissioner steps down.
