Standoff at Shoghi: Delhi vs. Shimla Police Clash Over Youth Congress Arrests

  • On Thursday , a nearly 24-hour standoff between the Delhi Police and Shimla Police ended after the convoy transporting three Youth Congress activists was allowed to return to New Delhi, according to officials.
  • Charges tied to the February 20 protest led to the arrest of three activists in Rohru, with transit remand granted by ACJM Ekansh Kapil, raising the total to 11 including Uday Bhanu Chib.
  • A dispute over seized CCTV/DVRs and a barricaded vehicle escalated the confrontation as Shimla Police alleged Delhi Police took evidence without a receipt, filed a kidnapping FIR, and refused to hand over vehicle keys.
  • After Delhi Police shared a seizure memo, the deadlock eased and the convoy departed, with accused set to appear before a Delhi magistrate while Shimla police withdrew from the Shoghi border.
  • A viral video on social media has spurred questions about inter-jurisdictional policing, while the Bharatiya Janata Party accused the Himachal government of shielding those who tarnish the country's image.
