Ankita Bhandari's Parents Stage Protest at Rajghat, Removed by Police
Police said the parents were removed after they planned an indefinite dharna and were later taken to Burari Hospital.
- On Wednesday, Delhi Police removed the parents of Ankita Bhandari from Rajghat, citing the imposition of Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 in the area.
- The Bhandaris had visited the memorial to offer prayers and stage a protest, but police claimed they were removed because they intended to launch an indefinite strike at a non-designated location.
- Virendra Bhandari alleged that police tracked their phones and used at least four officers to drag them into a vehicle, though Deputy Commissioner of Police M. Harsha Vardhan denied tracking them.
- After complaining of being unwell, the couple were transported to Burari Hospital, though Virendra later claimed his wife did not receive proper medical treatment during their time in custody.
- This incident follows a protest last month near India Gate, where the couple demonstrated against the appointment of Bharatiya Janata Party leader Dushyant Kumar Gautam as the governor of Sikkim.
