Raijor Dal activists were taken into custody at Janata Bhawan while staging a protest demanding justice for singer Zubeen Garg. Police intervened as the demonstration continued inside the building.
Raijor Dal members gathered inside Janata Bhawan to press for a swift investigation into allegations surrounding popular singer Zubeen Garg. The group organized a sit‑in, chanting slogans and holding placards that called for accountability.
Law enforcement officials arrived at the venue and, after a brief standoff, detained several protesters for violating public order provisions. The detained activists were escorted to the nearby police station for questioning.
Party leaders outside the building condemned the arrests, stating that the right to peaceful protest is being curtailed. They reiterated their demand for an impartial inquiry into the matter that sparked the demonstration.
No injuries were reported, and the protest remained largely peaceful despite the police action. Authorities have not released the exact number of detainees or any further details about the ongoing investigation.
