New Delhi: Delhi Police detained Indian Youth Congress (IYC) workers protesting outside the Parliament Street Police Station at around 4 am, following a night-long demonstration in which the protesters demanded an FIR against police officers accused of using force against peaceful demonstrators.

IYC chief Uday Bhanu Chib strongly criticised the police action, alleging that officers had attacked peaceful protesters and committed violence. He questioned why no FIR had been registered despite the protesters remaining at the police station throughout the night.

Youth Congress Chief Demands FIR Against Police Officers

Addressing the situation, Chib said the officers allegedly involved in the incident should face an FIR. He claimed that instead of acting on the protesters’ complaint, the police had moved to detain the demonstrators. The Youth Congress chief described the developments as evidence of what he called a compromised police force. He also accused the authorities of using force against young people and students.

‘We Have Been Sitting Here All Night’

Chib said the protesters had remained outside the police station overnight while waiting for action on their demand. According to him, no FIR had been registered against the officers by the time the detentions began. He alleged that the police response raised serious questions about the handling of complaints against personnel accused of excessive force.

The allegations could not be independently verified from the information available.

Early-Morning Detentions Escalate Political Tensions

The detention of Youth Congress workers at 4 am has brought renewed attention to the confrontation outside Parliament Street Police Station. The protesters were demanding accountability and legal action against the officers they accused of assaulting demonstrators. The episode is likely to intensify the political debate over police conduct, the right to peaceful protest and the handling of complaints against law enforcement personnel.

Further details about the number of workers detained, the police response and whether an FIR has since been registered were not available in the information provided.
