Chhatrasal Stadium turns into a detention site: Protesters recount hours inside · indianexpress.com

On Tuesday, the Chhatrasal Stadium in Delhi was used to detain over 50 protesters who were part of a march to the Parliament.

The protesters were taken to the stadium after being picked up by the police.

They were kept there for about 16 hours, during which they were given food and water.

The protesters allege that arrest memos were prepared for them, which they found unnecessary.

The police, however, claim that these memos are required.

The protesters were later moved to different police stations and hospitals.

Their family members had a hard time reaching them as their phones were confiscated.

Quotes

Ishaan Deor

Teacher from Nashik who was detained during the protest

“I had two more days left in Delhi and am also not working right now. So, it felt I was in a much better position than most to participate in the march. A march to Parliament felt more meaningful than a protest at Jantar Mantar, so I decided to join.”
