NEW DELHI: Aides of All India Students’ Association (AISA) chief Neha Bora on Friday claimed that she had been taken to an unknown location after being detained by Delhi Police while on her way to participate in the ”Lehra Do Tiranga’ protest in the national capital.“Neha Bora detained alone, taken to unknown location,” a post on her X account read adding that she did not have her phone with her.“Delhi Police must answer: where is Neha?” the message said, describing the incident as “once again, an abduction”.Bora was detained at Mandi House, a short while after Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) leader Abhijeet Dipke was picked up from his residence in Jhandewalan, as both headed to participate in the proposed protest on Friday.The detentions triggered jostling among protesters, camera crews and security personnel amid heightened security arrangements across the capital.Police sources told news agency PTI that Dipke was taken to Jafarpur Kalan police station after being detained. The location where Bora was taken was not immediately clear from the information available.Earlier in the day, more than 20 Delhi Police personnel visited Dipke’s residence in Jhandewalan and served him a notice directing him to refrain from any action that could prejudice the rights of citizens, traders, commuters, patients and others.A senior police officer confirmed the detention of both leaders, saying the situation remained peaceful.“We have detained Dipke and Bora. The situation is very peaceful. Some protesters have reached Connaught Place and will be removed soon. Our main objective is to maintain law and order and ensure smooth traffic movement,” the officer said.
