Youth Congress Protest at AI Summit a Political Dissent, Not Organised Crime: Delhi Court Grants Bail to 9

  • On Sunday a Delhi court granted bail to nine Indian Youth Congress workers arrested over a February 20 protest at the India AI Impact Summit held at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
  • At the summit, protesters entered wearing jackets and sweaters that hid printed T-shirts, revealing political slogans during the five-day India AI Impact Summit attended by 20 world leaders and exhibitors from 30 countries.
  • Authorities seized digital devices and footage, and FIRs cited rioting and promoting enmity under Sections 196, 197 and 3 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Delhi Police said.
  • The court found the protest was political dissent, not organised crime, and ruled prolonged detention violated the right to liberty under Article 21 of the Constitution; the Sessions Court stayed Uday Bhanu Chib's magistrate bail until March 6.
  • Authorities are pursuing leads into printing presses and payment records as several participants remain absconding after a stand-off between Delhi Police and Himachal Pradesh Police last week.
