Delhi Police Says No Detentions in Mamata Banerjee Protest; Habeas Corpus Plea Infructuous
Delhi Police informed the Supreme Court that no arrests or detentions occurred during the October 10 protest involving Mamata Banerjee. The police argued that the habeas corpus petition filed by TMC MP Menaka Guruswamy over Banerjee's alleged removal is now infructuous and should be dismissed. The protest was held without official permission amid a security order prohibiting gatherings near sensitive locations, including Rashtrapati Bhavan and foreign embassies, in effect from August 20 to October 18.
