During the AI Impact Summit held at Bharti Mandap in Delhi, a 'shirtless protest' led to the swift actions of the authorities, notably involving the arrest of three Congress workers from Shimla. The Delhi police's special cell apprehended these individuals, identified as Saurabh, Siddharth, and Arbaaz, from a hotel in the Rohru subdivision. They were presented in a local court, which sanctioned a transit remand for further questioning in Delhi. This incident contributes to a total of 11 arrests linked to the protest.

In an unexpected turn of events, while the Delhi police's special team attempted to transport the arrested Congress activists to the national capital, they were stopped by the Himachal police. The operation executed by Delhi police faced backlash as they had not informed local authorities prior to their actions. This led to a confrontation that escalated tension between the two police departments, highlighting jurisdictional challenges and the complexities of inter-state law enforcement in India.

The incident, which involved police officers and about twenty individuals being detained, raises questions about the conduct of the police, the nature of the protest, and the tensions between state and national authorities regarding handling such political demonstrations. As the situation unfolds, it may impact discussions surrounding civil rights, police accountability, and the political climate in the context of ongoing protests against government policies.
