Delhi Police again appealed Shaheen Bagh protesters to move the protest from the main road. Commissioner of Delhi Police Amulya Patnaik said, “We are appealing to protestors at Shaheen Bagh as they are mostly women and children; we thought it's better to approach them in a persuasive manner. We are hopeful that gradually they will realize that people are facing inconvenience and they will listen to Delhi Police and clear it”. “Since it has been persisting for a long time, we had put barricades and proper arrangements there,” added CP Amulya Patnaik. Commissioner of Delhi Police also reacted over firing incident in Shaheen Bagh area. He said, “Due to police deployment the persons who came there with arms didn't have the courage to do something more. One-two incidents did take place but they are isolated incidents. We have made elaborate arrangements at Shaheen Bagh as well as other protest sites.”
