Neha Bora detained again in Delhi.
Bangla Press Desk: The capital, Delhi, was in a state of high agitation on Sunday (October 11) as demands mounted for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. During the protests, Neha Bora, president of the student organization AISA, was once again detained by the police.
Immediately after her detention, she alleged from inside the prison van that she had been subjected to severe abuse by the Delhi Police.
Various student organizations—such as AISA, SFI, and KYS—took to the streets in a protest called by the 'Cockroach Janata Party'. Police blocked the protesters as they attempted to march from Vijay Chowk towards Jantar Mantar. Approximately 30,000 police and security personnel were deployed across Delhi to manage the situation. Following a fierce scuffle between the police and the demonstrators, many individuals, including Neha Bora, were rounded up and loaded into vans.
After being detained, Neha Bora posted a video on social media from inside the bus. In the video, she showed how the police had converted ordinary buses into makeshift jails by creating four small, separate compartments or 'cells' inside them.
The buses were so overcrowded that neither ordinary citizens nor the protesters had enough space to breathe. She further alleged that the police verbally abused and physically assaulted male protesters inside the bus by kicking them.
Police arrested over 100 protesters during the demonstration. Among those detained was CPI(M) Member of Parliament John Brittas. The SFI alleged that police brutally beat their activists inside the prison van; the organization even claimed that MP John Brittas was beaten and left bleeding by the roadside.
Additionally, the police detained Father Biju Xavier, the head of a church, for the alleged offense of recording a video of the police brutality.
Discontent had been brewing for a long time due to various irregularities in the voter list and the controversial role played by the Election Commission. The protest was primarily called to demand that the Election Commission be made impartial and to call for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. However, the situation has become even more tense following Sunday's police crackdown and mass arrests. Source: Times of India
