Students Detained Ahead of Amit Shah's Alwar Visit Over Planned Protest
Ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's visit to Alwar, Rajasthan police detained several students planning to protest and show black flags over issues including the lathi-charge on Delhi protesters, poor road conditions, the alleged Matsya scam, and restoration of student union elections. Shah, accompanied by Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma, is set to inaugurate development projects worth over Rs 6,200 crore across Rajasthan, including initiatives in Alwar. The detentions reflect a pattern of preventive arrests before Shah's public events amid ongoing opposition criticism.
