Two men who punched a minor girl then dragged her onto the road, continued to hit her, and ripped her t-shirt got bail within 24 hours. Meanwhile, remand extended for two guys who waved the tricolour. 🤷♂️

The respect Delhi Police has for gangsters…
Wish they showed even 10% of this courtesy to students and activists who are doing nothing but protest.

Abhijeet, Ashu & Saurav will go down as the first Indians after 1947 to be jailed for unfurling the national flag 🇮🇳
Our youth has shown remarkable courage in the face of a govt that has only contempt for it. By doing so, the country has been awakened.

Delhi Police still hasn’t given any information about where Neha Bora is. They’re not even allowing her lawyer to enter the police station.
Please, everyone, come together at Parliament Street Police Station in Delhi. We need answers about where Neha Bora is.

I know I should be angry -- and I am. I'm furious. But God, I'm so very tired. I know that's the outcome they want. But....I'm just so aghast and empty.
Dissent is NOT illegal. Questioning power is not illegal. Asking for your voice to be heard as a citizen is not illegal.

It is 10:40 pm at night. Delhi Police Parliament Street Thana is not letting a delegation enter the police station. We are asking where are @neha_aisa and @abhijeet_dipke ? How can they detain a woman beyond sunset? If she is arrested they must disclose the details.

The Government has panicked unimaginably and responding with ridiculous knee jerk reactions. All of Delhi is iconic, precious in heritage terms, strategic. How long can it ban residents of Delhi from all public spaces parks n gardens and lockdown commercial markets?

🚨 SOS! 🚨
AISA President Neha Bora is being detained alone at the Anti-Narcotic Task Force, Mangolpuri.
It is almost 8 PM and there has been NO communication with them.
Their associates are being denied access and held outside by 7-8 people who are in civil dress.

🚨 UPDATE ON NEHA BORA
There is still no information about Neha Bora’s whereabouts. Delhi Police has not provided any clarity regarding her current location or status.
Avinash Godbole retweeted
Neha Bora & Abhijeet Dipke have been abducted by the Delhi police. They have not disclosed their whereabouts, nor allowed them to contact their lawyers or relatives. All totally illegal.
Why? Only because they wanted to wave the National flag in Connaught Place!

My take - Protests are meant to be seen heard and make you feel uncomfortable- that’s why it’s called a protest - my issue is not why Jantar Mantar was denotified -but is the right to protest being ‘denotified’?- India is not a police state. Delhi cannot be a police capital. You have to allow dissent- 👇

He was the courageous Israeli who stood against genocide.
Across the world, the Jewish tradition of fighting injustice is growing stronger.
Here's to many more Ori Goldbergs.
May his memory be a blessing.

Many Riots in India happen because of this.
Followers of Hindutva Cult masquerade as Muslims and play mischief.
Dear @CPDelhi , @DelhiPolice have you arrested this chameleon or not yet ?
Avinash Godbole retweeted
The world has lost a light in a very broken society, may Ori rest in peace and his family find comfort in time with their memories and the knowledge so many respected and appreciated him 🙏🏼🕯️

Fun-facts for people speculating about a "foreign hand" and "foreign funding" for the cockroach protests: in 2016, BJP govt amended Foreign Contribution Regulation Act to explicitly allow foreign donations to political parties. BJP is the largest recipient of political donations

Lol. No criminal records?
Both these goons were sitting inside the same car.
The truth about the vehicle check
Vehicle was taken to the police station strictly for routine verification.
The individual’s profile was fully vetted, and they have zero criminal record.
Nothing found: A thorough inspection of the vehicle revealed absolutely nothing illegal or objectionable.
Following standard due verification, the individual was cleared and allowed to leave immediately.
