Yogendra Yadav detained by Delhi Police at Jantar Mantar alleges of being assaulted

Former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Yogendra Yadav was detained by the Delhi Police during a farmers protest at Jantar Mantar last night. Police officials even dragged Yadav inside the police station not allowing him to talk to the mediapersons. Yadav, who was trying to march towards the Prime Minister’s official 7 Race Course Road residence, has alleged that he was “brutally assaulted”. “All of us, 96 in all, are now being arrested. But what’s the crime, I wonder. Is standing peacefully with a Hal an offence? We were not obstructing traffic, were willing to cooperate with any reasonable condition,” Yadav said on twitter. ‘Why this brutal assault then” he added in a series of tweets. Meanwhile, expressing disappointment over the detention, former AAP leader Prashant Bhushan said that Yadav had not created any law and order problem but were staging a peaceful protest.
