Ex-Bureaucrat Ashish Joshi Questioned by Delhi Police Over Social Media Post, ReleasedPreviousNext

Former civil servant Ashish Joshi was reportedly taken by plainclothes officers from Delhi's Nehru Park and questioned at a police station regarding a social media post about Home Minister Amit Shah. No formal case was registered, and Joshi was released the same day. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit raised concerns about Joshi's whereabouts during the incident, which sparked social media attention. Joshi had previously posted about a dispute between Amit Shah and the Home Secretary over police actions against student protests.
