AISA alleges crackdown on student protesters, seeks release of detained activists
"CPI(ML) Liberation MLA Sandeep Saurav and several AISA activists remain behind bars for participating in protests against alleged paper leaks, especially student and youth activists in Bihar," says AISA national president Neha
On July 28, 2026, the All India Students' Association (AISA) expressed concern over a growing crackdown on student protesters across the country. Despite assurances from the Union Government that peaceful protesters would not face punishment, AISA alleged that students in multiple states, particularly Bihar and Delhi, were facing arrests, detentions, and police actions.
Neha, the AISA national president, along with members of the Delhi University secretariat and legal counsel, addressed a press conference at the Press Club of India in New Delhi. They accused students of being falsely charged and subjected to arbitrary detention. Neha highlighted the case of CPI(ML) Liberation MLA Sandeep Saurav and several AISA activists who remained in jail for protesting against alleged examination paper leaks.
The AISA press release, which detailed what it characterized as a police crackdown through arrests and detentions, emphasized the government's failure to uphold its commitment to peaceful students. They urged the central government to release all detained individuals and engage with student concerns, calling for an immediate end to police action against students and activists nationwide.
