AISA says Neha Bora picked up by cops in private vehicle, Delhi Police denies claim

All India Students' Association (AISA) alleged that Neha Bora, the party's national president, was detained by Delhi Police in a private vehicle lacking an official number plate. Later, Delhi Police denied the claim, stating that Bora was taken in a government vehicle with two female officers. Bora was later released at the Narela Industrial Area police station, but she was reportedly taken without her phone and bag.

A team of lawyers is being sent to assist Bora at the police station. The protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's resignation gained momentum with clashes between protesters and police on Sunday, with around 5,000 personnel deployed by the Delhi Police, including Rapid Action Force (RAF) and other paramilitary forces.
