Delhi Police Attempt to Arrest Student Leader Aishe Ghosh at CPI(M) Office Sparks Controversy
The Communist Party of India (Marxist) and its student wing, SFI, allege that Delhi Police attempted to arrest SFI leader Aishe Ghosh at the party's AKG Bhavan headquarters in connection with a 2021 protest case. Police reportedly lacked a written warrant on site and left after confrontation with party leaders, including MP John Brittas. Opposition leader Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the police action as a violation of democratic and constitutional rights, suggesting political motives. Delhi Police stated the arrest attempt followed a non-bailable warrant issued by a court.
