Assam: All India Youth Congress leader Uday Bhanu Shiv was detained by Assam Police on the morning of December 20 at a hotel in Guwahati’s Manik Nagar area.
The Congress leader had reportedly traveled to Guwahati to participate in a protest organized by the Assam Pradesh Congress Committee (APCC) scheduled for the day.
Police officials have stationed personnel outside the hotel where Shiv was detained, and reports indicate that he has been restricted from using his mobile phone. The move has sparked reactions from Congress party members, who have alleged that their leader was unfairly targeted.
Congress representatives have countered the claims of a protest, stating that their intent was to organize a prayer session, not a demonstration. The detention has raised questions about the police’s actions, with party members hinting at political motives behind the move.
Further details on the situation are awaited as Congress leaders in the region deliberate on their next steps.
