More than 200 ABVP activists, including three senior office-bearers, were detained on Tuesday while marching from Ranchi’s Old Assembly area towards the new Assembly building in protest against the lathi-charge on students, who were protesting alleged irregularities in government job examinations on Monday.
Those detained included Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) national general secretary Dr Virendra Singh Solanki, national secretary Abhay Pratap Singh and Jharkhand state secretary Prakash Tuti.
According to ABVP social media coordinator Satyam Mishra, the activists were detained around 2-2.30 pm near the Old Assembly after police stopped their march and took them away in different vehicles.
The ABVP had organised the event in protest against the previous day’s lathi-charge on students during their march.
Thanking all those who participated in the Assembly gherao programme, he demanded action against those responsible for the lathi-charge on the peaceful protesters.
