Flash Protests Keep the Flag Flying; Dipke-Bora's Detentions, Police Action Fail to Deter Delhi's Protesters

Delhi Police and security personnel were seen verbally and physically assaulting protesters carrying the national flag, as they forcibly dragged them into detention buses after dark.

What started with the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP)’s call to unfurl the tricolour – ‘Lehra do Tiranga’ – at Central Park in Connaught Place on Friday (October 16) turned into a chaotic day with jostling crowds and two of the leading faces of the ongoing protests – CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke and All India Students’ Association (AISA) national president Neha Bora – being brutally detained by the Delhi Police as they tried to make their way to the central Delhi location.
