AISA Claims Neha Bora Detained During Protest, Released Without Phone, Bag

Neha Bora, the national president of the All India Students Association (AISA), was detained by Delhi Police during a protest march on Sunday. The protest was part of a three-day demonstration demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. According to AISA members, Bora was picked up by police in a private vehicle without an official number plate and taken to an unknown location.

The protest march began near Andhra Bhawan Circle on Ashoka Road, with AISA members and supporters raising slogans against the Election Commission as they marched towards Jantar Mantar. However, police stopped the protesters and detained several of them as they attempted to proceed towards the designated protest site. Some protesters alleged that police manhandled them during the demonstration.

Bora was later released, but according to NDTV, without her phone and bag. There was no immediate reaction from the Delhi Police on the allegations made by AISA members, including the claim that no woman police officer was present inside the vehicle when Bora was taken away.
