West Bengal's former chief minister Mamata Banerjee alleged that she and five accompanying individuals were detained by Delhi Police and Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) personnel during a protest in the national capital on Thursday. According to Banerjee's claims, the detentions occurred outside her residence in Delhi. The former chief minister reportedly used adhesive tape placed across her mouth as a symbolic gesture of protest during the incident. The demonstration appears to be connected to broader political activism, though specific details regarding the nature of the protest were not immediately clarified. The detention of the prominent opposition figure drew attention to ongoing security measures and protest management protocols employed by law enforcement agencies in the capital.
