Mastermind Behind Noida Protests, Aditya Anand, Arrested

On Saturday, Noida Police arrested Aditya Anand at Tiruchirappalli Railway Station in Tamil Nadu, ending his absconding as the primary suspect in violent labour protests.
Investigators allege Anand masterminded the violent labour demonstrations in Noida, reportedly using WhatsApp groups to mobilize workers and incite stone-pelting and arson.
Authorities placed a reward of Rs 1 lakh on the BTech graduate from NIT Jamshedpur, and police have arrested 63 individuals so far in connection with the unrest.
A Gautam Buddh Nagar court had previously issued a non-bailable warrant against Anand, and police are now initiating further legal proceedings following his apprehension by a joint Special Task Force team.
Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh stated that investigators identified social media accounts operating from Pakistan that allegedly used VPNs to spread misleading information and disrupt peace during the protests.
