Delhi Police has informed the Delhi High Court that the press note released by the Deputy Commissioner of Police, highlighting the allegations of conspiracy of instigating Delhi riots against Devangana Kalita, was a proportional response to the allegations made by Pinjra Tod members on their Twitter account. The Single Bench was further informed that the said press note was intended to restore the public faith in the police and was a proportional response to the allegations of communalisation of police. These submissions were made in a writ petition moved by Devangana Kalita seeking a direction to be issued to the Delhi Police refraining it from leaking information regarding FIRs registered against her to the media.
