In response to the alleged detaining of Delhi Police personnel following the arrest of three Youth Congress activists for a shirtless protest at the AI summit, Himachal Pradesh Police stated that individuals in civilian clothes with out-of-state vehicle registrations forcibly took away three people from a resort in Chirgaon. The Shimla Police took immediate action to investigate the incident, ensuring legal procedures were strictly followed.
Acting swiftly and in coordination with Solan Police, Shimla Police intercepted the individuals at various locations, confirming they were police personnel from Delhi and Haryana who had taken custody of the three individuals related to a case in Delhi. The individuals were presented before a local court in Shimla for further legal proceedings and underwent medical examinations as per protocol at Ripon Hospital.
Following the legal process, the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate in Shimla granted transit remand for approximately 18 hours, allowing the Delhi and Haryana Police team to return to Delhi with the individuals. A first information report (FIR) was filed based on a complaint from the owner of Chanshul Resort in Chirgaon, and investigations are ongoing at the Chirgaon Police Station.
Congress lawmaker Kuldeep Rathore has urged the state government to take strict action against the Delhi Police, criticizing the detentions as an effort to silence the voices of Youth Congress leaders.
