Madhya Pradesh High Court takes note of 2 women detained while on way to CJP’s Delhi protest

The detention of two women protesters, Shravani Buva and Preeti Prashant Lodhe, while traveling to a protest in Delhi has caught the attention of the Madhya Pradesh High Court. Their lawyers filed habeas corpus petitions, seeking their release, and police responded by informing senior officials about the legal actions. On Friday, the High Court ordered the state counsel to produce the two women within a specified timeframe.

Police were directed to comply with the court's instructions to prevent any negative repercussions. This situation unfolded as police across Madhya Pradesh intercepted and removed protesters heading to Delhi, with at least 30 individuals being detained and advised to return to their home states. AISF state convener Shravani Buva, who was traveling with 22 fellow activists, claimed that police attempted to remove activist Niharika Bhosale at Bhusawal railway station in Maharashtra before they were ultimately stopped at Itarsi station in Madhya Pradesh.

Similar claims emerged from protesters in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, who stated that seven activists were taken off trains by police in Madhya Pradesh while en route to Delhi for a peaceful demonstration, with no official confirmation regarding their current location or legal status.
