Palika Bazaar

Palika Bazaar is an underground market located between the inner and outer circle of Connaught Place, Delhi, India.

Police conduct regular raids to recover stolen or counterfeit merchandise, but this has failed to put an end to the illegal activity in the market.

Local media reported that female visitors often complain about eveteasing and harassment,[6] and a lack of proper trial rooms.
