Dipke, Bora detained ahead of 'Tiranga' march

All India Students Association chief Neha Bora was detained by Delhi Police while en route to the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest in the national capital on Friday. AISA aides claimed Bora was taken to an unknown location and demanded the police reveal her whereabouts, describing the incident as "once again, an abduction."

Bora and CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke were both detained as they attempted to reach the protest at Connaught Place. Dipke was subsequently taken to Jafarpur Kalan police station, though Bora's location remains unclear. A Delhi Police officer asserted that the situation remained peaceful, with the main aim being law enforcement and orderly traffic flow.

Notably, over 20 police officers visited Dipke's residence earlier, issuing a notice warning him against actions that could infringe upon citizens' rights. Security measures were notably heightened around Connaught Place, including a heavy deployment of personnel, tear gas vehicles, and a Vajra vehicle, alongside Rapid Action Force personnel.

Despite the restrictions in place, hundreds of protesters, including CJP members and student organization representatives, gathered at both Connaught Place and Mandi House for multiple flash protests, waving the national flag amid an intense police presence.
