The Delhi Police released Neha Bora on Tuesday after holding her in preventive custody, officials confirmed. Bora had been detained ahead of the 'Lehra Do Tiranga' protest march scheduled for October 16 at Connaught Place in central New Delhi.
Meanwhile, co-accused Abhijeet Dipke is expected to be presented before a special court (SEM court) in connection with the same matter, according to police statements. The exact timeline for Dipke's court appearance remained unclear at the time of reporting.
Both individuals were taken into preventive custody as authorities sought to maintain order during the planned demonstration. The preventive detention measure is typically employed when police suspect potential disruption to public peace, though it does not constitute formal charges or arrests.
The 'Lehra Do Tiranga' march was organized to raise awareness on specific issues among Delhi residents. Details regarding the specific demands of the protest or the grounds cited for the initial detention have not been fully disclosed by authorities.
