AI Summit Ruckus: Police Arrested Congress Leader from Gwalior at Midnight
Delhi police arrested Congress leader Jitendra Yadav from Gwalior in connection with a protest during an international summit, suspecting his involvement in a shirtless demonstration.
Delhi police arrested Jitendra Yadav, a former state secretary of the Youth Congress, during a late-night raid in Gwalior. The arrest stems from Yadav's alleged involvement in a protest at the Bharat Mandapam where he reportedly participated in a shirtless demonstration in front of international delegates. Authorities believe that this demonstration was part of a larger conspiracy to disrupt the event, which has raised questions about public order and diplomatic relations.
The police raid occurred around 1:30 AM on a weekend, with the team moving swiftly to apprehend Yadav at his home in the City Center area of Gwalior. Following his arrest, Yadav was brought to Delhi and presented in court, where he has been remanded in police custody for two days. The police are extending their investigation to other locations associated with printing the controversial t-shirts worn during the protest, indicating a broader effort to tackle the organizers of this incident.
Previously, a court had denied bail to four other individuals arrested in this case, highlighting the judicial system's view of the protest as a 'direct attack on public order' and damaging to the country's diplomatic image. These individuals, from various states, are currently in police custody, suggesting that law enforcement is taking a strong stance against any actions perceived as undermining national integrity during high-profile international events.
