Student and youth organisations in Delhi have demanded clarification from police regarding the whereabouts of a key activist following his detention, raising concerns about due process and access to legal counsel.
According to available reports, lawyers were permitted to meet with another detainee at RK Puram police station in the early hours of the morning. The All India Students Association (AISA) has alleged that the detainee was transported between multiple locations over several hours without clear explanation.
The detentions have triggered questions about adherence to standard police procedures. Student groups have called on authorities to provide transparent information about the individuals in custody and ensure their legal rights are protected.
The incidents come amid broader concerns among civil society organisations regarding detention practices and access to legal representation. Police officials have not yet responded to the specific queries raised by the student groups regarding custody protocols and the status of those detained.
