Two Youths Detained in Panaji for Supporting Jailed Activist Umar Khalid
Two youths were detained by Panaji police for displaying placards supporting jailed activist Umar Khalid during celebrations of former Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. The detainees refused to disclose their identities, prompting police action and subsequent protests demanding their release. Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) leaders called for stringent legal action against the youths, labeling support for Khalid as anti-national. Khalid is accused in connection with the 2020 northeast Delhi riots. Authorities plan to register First Information Reports against the detainees.
