 Summary of this article
- Uday Bhanu Chib is the eighth person arrested in connection with the protest at Bharat Mandapam.
- Rahul Gandhi defended the protest, calling peaceful dissent a democratic right, and alleged the trade deal would harm farmers, the textile sector and India’s data sovereignty.
- Congress MP Sasikanth Senthil demanded an end to what he described as harassment of Youth Congress workers, saying peaceful dissent should not be treated as a crime.
The Delhi Police on Tuesday arrested Uday Bhanu Chib, the national president of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC), in connection with a shirtless protest staged at the India AI Impact Summit in the national capital last week.
Chib’s arrest follows an incident on February 20, when Youth Congress workers entered the summit venue at Bharat Mandapam and demonstrated inside the exhibition hall wearing T-shirts with slogans criticising the government and the India–US trade deal. Security personnel later removed the protesters from the venue, which was hosting international delegates.
Police said Chib is the eighth person to be arrested in the case and is suspected of having played a role in planning the protest. A day earlier, the police confirmed the arrest of Jitendra Yadav, identified as the fifth accused, who was detained from Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh.
