To manage the event, authorities deployed roughly 26,000 central security police personnel along with an additional 6,000 Delhi police officers. According to the police, the rally had been organized as a protest against the earlier arrest of CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka, who had been detained for hoisting the national flag at Jantar Mantar on October 16.
At a separate ‘Lhra Do Tiranga’ gathering held at Central Park in Delhi, BJP leader Abhishek Dixit was taken into custody by Delhi police.

The series of ‘Lhra Do Tiranga’ events were claimed to have been organized by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
