Sadly as much as I hate seeing essential communication links cut, though I don't have any data I am assuming a lot of people are going to buy in the public safety angle. It is not like the Indian state hasn't used that line of reasoning before for even bans lasting more than a year.
Reading through the linked article on the violence related to the same protests that happened few days back reminded me of some tweets I had seen. People running around brandishing swords(and other melee weapons) attacking cops, which felt way worse than what we saw in US Capitol insurrection. https://twitter.com/ANI/status/1354088807424028673
