AISA alleges Delhi police took president away during protest
The All India Students’ Association has alleged that its president, Neha, was taken away by male police personnel during a protest in central Delhi and that her whereabouts were not disclosed. The organisation has demanded her release, while the allegations had not been independently verified at the time of reporting.
The All India Students’ Association has alleged that its president, Neha, was taken away by police during a protest in central Delhi on Sunday evening and that her whereabouts were not disclosed to her associates. In a complaint to the Delhi Police Commissioner seen by The Hindu, AISA said Neha was taken at about 5pm from Ashoka Road, near the Shangri-La hotel and Jantar Mantar. The organisation alleged that the personnel were male, were not wearing name badges and used a private Maruti Suzuki Ertiga.
AISA identified the vehicle by registration number as DL1CAH9693 and said there was no woman police officer inside it. The organisation said friends and associates who had been with Neha at the protest site had been unable to contact or locate her afterwards. The student group described the incident as an abduction and illegal detention and expressed concern about her safety.
It also alleged that police had not informed the organisation or her associates where she had been taken. The incident occurred during a citizens’ march from India Gate to Jantar Mantar that had been called for Sunday. AISA further claimed that keeping a woman in police custody after sunset was illegal and said the lack of information amounted to illegal confinement.
The organisation asked the Delhi Police Commissioner to treat the matter urgently and release Neha immediately. The supplied material did not include a response from Delhi Police. The allegations in AISA’s complaint could not be independently verified immediately.
No confirmed information about Neha’s location or any formal police action was provided in the report.
