Punjab police delayed newspaper deliveries Nov. 2, 2025, during nighttime vehicle checks, sparking backlash over press freedom concerns.
On November 2, 2025, Punjab police delayed newspaper deliveries across multiple districts during a night-time vehicle check operation, citing intelligence about potential smuggling via vehicles, including newspapers.
Authorities said the checks were routine and conducted under supervision, with no intent to disrupt circulation, and emphasized public safety amid concerns over cross-border threats.
However, media outlets, opposition parties, and the Chandigarh Press Club condemned the move, calling it a suppression of press freedom and a potential political stunt, with some alleging the actions were linked to covering up Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s stay at a government residence.
Vendors and readers reported significant disruptions, and no arrests were made, but the incident sparked debate over security measures versus civil liberties.
