Detained by UP Cops on Way to Join Bharat Bandh: Bhim Army Chief

Azad was reportedly detained at his residence by UP Police, as he was leaving to join in the farmers’ protests.

Bhim Army Chief Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan on Tuesday, 8 December, took to Twitter to claim that he had been detained by the Yogi Adityanath government since morning.

“India has again gone back into the Emergency era today. Our providers, the farmers need us, but the police under the Yogi government have detained me since morning,” he wrote on Twitter.

भारत दोबारा से इमर्जेंसी के दौर में चला गया है आज हमारे अन्नदाता किसानों को हमारी जरूरत है लेकिन योगी सरकार की पुलिस ने मुझे सुबह से ही नजरबंद कर दिया है। pic.twitter.com/ChQ1WN5wLY
