Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was detained by Delhi Police along with other opposition leaders during a protest near India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence in New Delhi.
The protest was held over allegations related to examination irregularities, with opposition parties demanding action from the government. However, police intervened after the demonstration took place in a restricted area, leading to the detention of several leaders.
Authorities said the action was taken to maintain law and order and prevent disruption near a high-security zone. The detention was described as a preventive measure, and no formal arrest has been announced.
The incident has once
again highlighted the ongoing political tensions between the ruling BJP-led government and opposition parties. BJP leaders have maintained that the government remains committed to addressing genuine concerns while ensuring that public order and security are protected.
Opposition leaders, meanwhile, have criticized the police action and called for greater attention to their demands.
