Four Youth Congress Workers in Five-Day Police Custody
A Delhi court on Saturday sent four Indian Youth Congress workers, arrested on charges of protesting at the ‘AI Impact Summit’ venue, to five-day police custody. The court also allowed Delhi Police to interrogate them. Among the arrested workers are Krishna Hari, National Secretary of Youth Congress from Bihar, Kundan Yadav, State Secretary of Bihar, Ajay Kumar, State President of Uttar Pradesh, and Narasimha Yadav from Telangana.
What are the allegations against Congress workers?
Delhi Police argued in court that the arrested protestors allegedly chanted anti-national slogans and wore T-shirts with objectionable images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. According to the police, there was also a scuffle with security personnel and policemen deployed at the event venue.
On Saturday afternoon, the four accused were produced before the court of Judicial Magistrate Ravi. During the hearing, Delhi Police sought five days of custody for their interrogation. After hearing the arguments, the court first reserved its order and later accepted the police custody plea around 2 PM.
