Delhi protest: Neha Bora, Dipankar Bhattacharya, Yogendra Yadav, Prashant Bhushan detained
Amid the curbs and restrictions by the Delhi Police, Neha Bora, in a post on X, said, ‘Dilli Haat becomes Jantar Mantar today’
Neha Bora, the president of All India Students’ Association (AISA), along with other leaders, was apprehended by the Delhi Police near the Safdarjung Airport flyover in New Delhi as they were en route to the protest at Dilli Haat. Subsequently detained were Dipankar Bhattacharya, the general secretary of Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-Liberation; Yogendra Yadav, a political commentator; and Prashant Bhushan, a senior advocate.
Bora, in a video shared on X, urged supporters to join the protest at SAFDARJUNG FLYOVER, stating, "If you can, reach. If you are stopped, sit down where you are and hold the line." Amid the curbs and restrictions imposed by the Delhi Police, Bora declared, "Dilli Haat becomes Jantar Mantar today." Earlier, she criticized the police for detaining citizens "without any grounds" ahead of the anti-CEC protest at Jantar Mantar, declaring, "Jantar Mantar 2.0 is on!"
The Delhi Police erected barricades from Jor Bagh to bar protesters from accessing Dilli Haat; however, several protesters were observed navigating through bylanes to reach their destination.
