NewzTehseen Poonawalla, a political commentator and activist, has claimed he was placed under house arrest by authorities ahead of a planned protest against the E20 fuel policy. The activist stated that police personnel were stationed outside his residence, effectively preventing him from leaving to participate in the demonstration.
The incident follows mounting public and political opposition to the E20 fuel initiative, which mandates a 20 percent ethanol blend in gasoline. Poonawalla’s claim of detention highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the government's energy policy and the broader debate regarding the right to protest against state-led economic and environmental measures.
