AISA Claims Neha Bora Taken by Police in Unmarked Car
· India · Times of India, NDTV
AISA members alleged on Sunday that Delhi Police picked up the student organisation’s national president Neha Bora in a private vehicle without an official number plate during a protest march against the CEC near Jantar Mantar. They said she was taken to an unknown location and that no woman police officer was present inside the vehicle, which they called a violation of procedure. The development occurred as AISA activists attempted to return to Jantar Mantar for the third consecutive day, demanding the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Protesters marched from Andhra Bhawan Circle on Ashoka Road toward Jantar Mantar despite heavy police barricading, leading to brief clashes as police tried to prevent them from crossing. Visuals showed Bora attempting to climb over a barricade while police officials tried to stop her. The mobilisation followed detentions of over 150 protesters on Saturday and more than 500 on Friday, including Bora, AAP leaders, and activist Yoge
Why it matters
The allegations raise concerns about police conduct during protests, particularly regarding the detention of student activists and adherence to procedures involving women in custody. If true, the incident could affect public trust in law enforcement during political demonstrations in Delhi.
