The violence being enquired into by the HPEC took place at which Delhi location?
- A.Ramlila Maidan

Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Jantar Mantar. The Committee has been asked to enquire into every aspect of the incidents relating to violence at Jantar Mantar in Delhi, and also at places outside Delhi, during July 2026. Option A is wrong because, although that ground has hosted large gatherings in the past, it is not the site named in the reference to the Committee. Option C is wrong for the same reason; it is not mentioned in the terms of the enquiry. Option D is wrong because that memorial site has no connection with the episode before the Committee. Candidates should also note the four matters the Committee has placed first in its work: the use of pellet guns, targeted violence, the harassment of female protestors, and excessive violence along with destruction of property on either side of the conflict.
