Uttarakhand High Court Questions Police Detention of Activist Ahead of Delhi Protest
The Uttarakhand High Court criticised the state police for detaining Uttarakhand Parivartan Party leader Prabhat Dhyani while he was travelling to Delhi to join the Cockroach Janta Party's protest. The court questioned the legal basis and jurisdiction of the detention, terming the police action as 'gundagardi' (hooliganism). The state cited prohibitory orders under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, but the court demanded clarification. Dhyani was released within 24 hours, and the court has asked the government to explain the grounds for his detention.
