Why It Matters
A protest was organized in Delhi against Gyanesh Kumar and SIR and against alleged sexual violence against female journalists.
In Delhi, common people, social workers and student organizations took out a 'Citizens March' from India Gate to Jantar Mantar on Sunday.
A large number of people participated in this march. 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 has been detained by Delhi Police.
It was written on Neha Bora's X account, "Where are Delhi Police taking Neha themselves? This is not detention, this is kidnapping."
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."
However, Delhi Police's stand on these allegations is not available in this update.
Social activist Yogendra Yadav alleged when Neha Bora was taken into custody that not a single female policeman was present in the car in which Neha was taken. Describing it as illegal, he said, "Another illegal act in protection of the illegal things of the Election Commission."
Yogendra Yadav also told that he was taken into custody by Delhi Police during the protest.
Posting a picture on Instagram, he wrote, "They have been put in the bus and then they are being taken somewhere. Until Gyanesh Kumar is not given leave, we too will not take leave. The sequence continues…"
In this demonstration, Aam Aadmi Party workers also reached India Gate area in large numbers. The protesters were seen continuously raising slogans against Delhi Police.
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."
The commotion continued for a long time before Saurabh Bhardwaj was taken into custody. The protesters accused the police of misbehavior during this period.
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 victims. The whole country is watching the brutality with which Delhi Police is detaining the youth and beating them. Delhi Police should be ashamed."
