Uttarakhand High Court Questions Police Detention of Activist Heading to Delhi ProtestPreviousNext

The Uttarakhand High Court questioned the police on the detention of activist Prabhat Dhyani, president of the Uttarakhand Parivartan Party, who was stopped at Rishikesh Railway Station while heading to a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar. A habeas corpus petition was filed after his family lost contact with him. The court sought clarification on the legal grounds for his detention. Authorities later informed that Dhyani was released and in his mother's custody.
