Indian opposition bloc leaders backed AISA national president Neha after police detained her during an attempt to join a march toward Jantar Mantar in Delhi on October 4. She was later released from Narela Industrial Area police station, The Hindu reported.
AISA members alleged that Neha was taken away in a private vehicle without an official number plate. They also said there was no woman police officer in the vehicle and that colleagues and supporters could not contact her for a time.
Leaders of the All India Democratic Women’s Association, activists and other public figures went to Parliament Street Police Station seeking information about Neha and other women they said had been taken away in unmarked vehicles. Those who went to the station included Asha Sharma, Maimoona Mollah, Anjali Bharadwaj and Navsharan Singh.
Trinamool Congress Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien said he had been anxious after learning of the detention. The Hindu report did not include an official police response to the claims about how Neha was transported.
