Did a Woman Police Officer Lose Her Unborn Child During Jantar Mantar Protest? Delhi Police Issues Clarification

Delhi Police has dismissed as false and misleading a wave of social media claims alleging that a woman police officer lost her unborn child after being injured during a protest at Jantar Mantar. In an official statement, the force clarified that the officer seen in viral photographs is neither married nor pregnant, and that she sustained injuries in a stampede-like situation at the protest site rather than in an act of violence targeting a pregnant woman.

What The Viral Claims Alleged

Photographs of a female Delhi Police officer being carried by colleagues after appearing to lose consciousness at the Jantar Mantar protest site began circulating widely on social media. Several posts claimed the officer was four months pregnant and had been struck by stones allegedly pelted by protesters, leading to the loss of her unborn child.

The claims spread rapidly online, prompting concern and outrage among users who shared the images along with the unverified narrative. What Is the NSA Order Notification Issued by Delhi Police? Here’s Why It Is Not Linked to CJP Protests.

The statement said the individual is neither married nor pregnant and is currently under medical supervision.

The force urged the public not to share or amplify unverified information and asked people to rely only on official updates.

Separately, sources cited by Republic World confirmed that the officer sustained injuries due to the chaotic crowd conditions at the site. Reports from Akashvani News added that the officer is admitted at Ram Manohar Lohia (RML) Hospital, with doctors confirming her condition is stable and that she is out of danger.

Background: The Jantar Mantar Protest

The incident occurred against the backdrop of an ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar led by the youth-led Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), which has been camping at the site since June 6, demanding the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan over alleged irregularities in examinations. The movement gained wider attention after environmentalist Sonam Wangchuk extended his support and went on an indefinite hunger strike. Delhi Police Denies Detaining Youths Carrying Food to Jantar Mantar, Calls Allegation ‘False, Misleading’.

Tensions at the protest site have escalated in recent days. A July 20 "Chalo Sansad" march organised by the group led to clashes with police, including the use of force to disperse protesters near Parliament House. A separate viral video showing a senior Delhi Police officer slapping a woman protester during the same march led to his removal from duty at the site.

Police Appeal For Caution

Delhi Police has reiterated that spreading unverified claims, particularly those involving sensitive personal details, can cause unnecessary panic and harm. The force has asked citizens and social media users to depend solely on verified, official channels for information related to the ongoing protest and any incidents connected to it.

No further details on the officer's identity or specific injuries have been released, in keeping with standard protocol.
