Delhi Police allegedly seized AISA national president Neha Bora in a private car without a registered plate during a protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar near Jantar Mantar on Sunday, according to the All India Students' Association (AISA). The group claimed that no female police officer was present in the vehicle when Bora was removed, questioning the procedure's adherence.
AISA activists were attempting their third consecutive day of attempting to reach Jantar Mantar, demanding Kumar's resignation amid heavy police barricades and security measures. The protests, which began at Andhra Bhawan Circle on Ashoka Road, saw clashes between protesters and authorities, with Bora attempting to breach a barricade.
On Saturday, over 150 demonstrators were arrested, and on Friday, more than 500 activists, including AISA members, AAP leaders, and Yogendra Yadav, were detained. Police had denied permission for Friday's meeting and increased police presence around Jantar Mantar.
