Surprise haul of misplaced mobiles at protest site
While slogans echoed at Jantar Mantar during the CJP protest on Saturday, another chorus was quietly building—the sound of missing mobile phones. As attendees, including a photojournalist and a lawyer, searched their pockets, police personnel on duty ended up collecting a surprising haul of misplaced devices.

Netizens defended the exhausted flyer, pointing out that airport naps are a global norm. In a classic case of turbulence mid-takeoff, attempt to lecture on civic sense instead landed Sharma in the eye of a digital storm.
