Protest against Gyanesh Kumar: Detained Neha Bora released, CJP's protest against allegations of sexual violence against women journalists.

Common people, social workers and student organizations in Delhi took out a 'Citizens March' from India Gate to Jantar Mantar on Sunday against the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the SIR.

Along with this, people of CJP and other organizations gathered at Sansad Marg police station on Saturday demanding registration of FIR against Delhi Police officer in the case of sexual violence against women journalists and protesters.

A large number of protesters participated in both these cases. However, Delhi Police has put up barricades on the roads leading to Jantar Mantar and a large number of security forces have been deployed in the area.

Leftist student organization AISA said in a post on X that its leader Neha Bora was taken into custody by Delhi Police.

Aisa alleged, "The police have taken them in an unauthorized vehicle, in which not a single woman police constable is present. We do not know where they are being taken. We have no information about them."

"Neha Bora has been released from Narela Industrial Area Police Station. She is missing her phone and bag. We are sending a team of lawyers to the police station for her safety and assistance," AISA said in a post in the evening.

Meanwhile, Live Law and Bar & Bench have informed that the Supreme Court will hear the petition against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar tomorrow i.e. on Monday.

According to Live Law, this petition has been filed regarding the decisions of Gyanesh Kumar on the issue of SIR which he allegedly took without the consent of the other two Election Commissioners.

In this petition, a demand has been made to withdraw 14 decisions related to SIR. Besides, a demand has been made to initiate action against Gyanesh Kumar and get the decisions related to SIR investigated by SIT.

According to Live Law, this petition will be heard by the bench of CJI Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana.

BBC correspondent Divya Arya, who was present at the spot, said that in view of the protests, a large number of barricades were put up outside the Sansad Marg police station and heavy deployment of police forces was done.

Divya Arya told that during the demonstration of Neha Bora and AISA on October 3, a large number of journalists were also seen present on the spot to cover the complaint against Delhi Police regarding sexual assault on female journalists and a female protestor.

The protesters demanded that the complaint against Delhi Police in this case be converted into an FIR.

In fact, during the protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Saturday, two women journalists and a protesting girl have accused a police officer and police personnel of sexual assault.

A female journalist alleges that while AISA President Neha Bora was being detained, ACP Vivek Bhagat hit her on the chest and pushed her and left from there.

Mehwish Ali, a woman protestor who reached Sansad Marg police station on Sunday, said, "This is government property, a police station. Everyone can go here. Even criminals can go here. You and I can also go, but look at the barricades. It has been made a complete cantonment."

CPM leader Vrinda Karat also reached Sansad Marg police station in this matter. Talking to BBC, he said, "We fought and changed the law, but they have created this situation of sexual violence and to save their ACP, they are flouting the law."

Earlier, Cockroach Janata Party (CJP) spokesperson Saurav Das and party member Ratna Singh reached Sansad Marg police station. CPIM leader Vrinda Karat was also present with him.

Saurav Das said, "Today, on behalf of CJP, I and Ratna Singh have come in support of the women who are victims of sexual violence. The whole country is watching the brutality with which the Delhi Police is detaining the youth and beating them. The Delhi Police should be ashamed."

While talking to BBC News Hindi, CJP's legal affairs chief Ratna Singh said, "The law clearly says that if a woman has come to file a case of rape or sexual violence, then it is the duty of the police to immediately file an FIR without investigation. So why is this law changing for them (policemen)."

Cockroach Janata Party wrote in a post on X, "Our team went inside the police station with the woman who was a victim of sexual violence and asked them to file an FIR against the ACP in the molestation case, but Delhi Police refused saying that the crime branch investigation is going on."

On the other hand, a large number of people participated in the Citizen March between India Gate and Jantar Mantar. Many of these people alleged that Delhi Police took them into custody.

Aam Aadmi Party leader Saurabh Bhardwaj also reached the protest over the case of alleged sexual violence against women journalists. During this time the police took him into custody along with many of his associates.

Saurabh Bhardwaj said, "When women journalists are being treated like this, you can think about the common people. There should be an FIR against the ACP."

Social activist Yogendra Yadav himself said in a post on

When Neha Bora was taken into custody, Yogendra Yadav alleged that not a single female policeman was present in the car in which Neha was taken.

NSUI wrote in a post on X, "Our NSUI comrades who are raising their voice against vote thieves have been detained by Delhi Police. But the voice of NSUI comrades cannot be suppressed. Our struggle to protect democracy and votes will continue."
