CJP protests: TMC chief Mamata Banerjee, AAP's Arvind Kejriwal released from detention

TMC chief Mamata Banerjee and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal were released from detention after being detained by Delhi Police during protests against CEC Gyanesh Kumar in the national capital.

"Right now we won't say anything because tomorrow the INDIA Alliance has called for a united stand, we are together. I cannot violate the system. I am very disciplined in this regard. But the President has said that 'We don't have any evidence, if we are to investigate, we need proof.' So we said, 'Fine, we will provide the proof.' This part is true," said Banerjee.

Earlier, Banerjee alleged that she alongwith five MPs, were detained and driven around in a prison van for two hours after they were detained by the Delhi Police amid protests in the national capital.


In a post on X, Banerjee announced that they had begun a dharna at Dwarka North Police Station in protest.

She said she would not return to Kolkata on Saturday night and would join the INDIA bloc march on Monday (October 12) to protest against the developments involving the youth.

“4pm. Along with our 5 MPs, we have started our dharna at Dwarka North PS, where we have been brought. We were kidnapped and driven around in a prison van for two hours. I am not returning to Kolkata tonight, and in protest against all that is happening today against the youth and all, I will join the I.N.D.I.A march on Monday,” she wrote.

In a self-made video, Mamata Banerjee alleged that the group was not allowed to proceed to Jantar Mantar and was detained despite complying with police instructions to remove their banner while sitting near a bus stop.
