At least eight people were detained by Delhi Police after a group of sadhus, including women protesters, attempted to stage a demonstration near Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s official residence in the high-security Lutyens’ Delhi area. Police said the protest violated restrictions imposed around the sensitive zone. Rahul Gandhi stepped out to meet the demonstrators and questioned the police action before being briefly stopped during the commotion. The Congress accused the authorities of curbing peaceful protests, while Delhi Police maintained that the detentions were necessary to enforce security regulations and maintain public order.
