Himachal and Delhi Police Resolve Standoff Over Youth Congress Arrests After Legal Dispute

A jurisdictional dispute unfolded between Himachal Pradesh Police and Delhi Police after the latter arrested three Youth Congress activists linked to a 'shirtless protest' at the AI Impact Summit from a resort in Rohru, Shimla district. Himachal Police alleged the arrests were made without proper procedure or local coordination, registering a kidnapping FIR and detaining about 20 Delhi officers. After multiple vehicle interceptions and legal proceedings, including transit remand granted by a Shimla court, the Delhi Police team was allowed to proceed to Delhi with the accused. Both sides accused each other of procedural violations amid political tensions surrounding the protest.
