Delhi Police: AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar in Preventive Detention
A lawmaker named Kuldeep Kumar, who works in Delhi, seemed to disappear.
His family got worried and asked a big court, called the High Court, for help.
They told the court that he was taken from home very early in the morning, around 4 o'clock.
The court asked the police what happened to him.
The police said he was not missing — they were holding him.
Police call this 'preventive detention,' which means they keep someone to stop trouble before it happens.
The family thinks the police did not have a good reason.
Now that the police told the court, everyone knows where the lawmaker is.
The court will keep checking to make sure everything was done fairly.
Delhi Police told the Delhi High Court that AAP MLA Kuldeep Kumar was taken into preventive detention early Tuesday morning.
Kumar's family filed a habeas corpus petition alleging he was illegally detained from his residence around 4 am.
The police submission came during the High Court's hearing of the habeas corpus petition.
The police clarification resolved the mystery surrounding Kumar's brief 'disappearance.'
The family alleged illegal detention, while police stated the detention was preventive.
