A controversy emerged following social media posts by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP), which featured videos of a truck allegedly loaded with stones parked near the Jantar Mantar protest site. The CJP suggested that the presence of the vehicle was part of a deliberate conspiracy intended to frame peaceful demonstrators for potential violence.

In response to the allegations, law enforcement officials provided their account of the situation. While the CJP characterized the truck as a tool for provocation, police statements regarding the incident have sought to clarify the purpose of the vehicle and the context of its presence at the site. The core of the disagreement lies in the intent behind the truck's placement; the CJP views it as a calculated threat to the safety and reputation of the protesters, whereas the police response aims to address these security concerns through an official explanation of the vehicle's presence. As of now, the specific details provided by the police regarding the truck's contents and its intended use remain the primary point of focus in verifying the CJP's claims of a setup.
