After Day-Long Standoff With Himachal Police, Delhi Cops On Way To Delhi With 3 Accused

A tense standoff unfolded in Himachal Pradesh late at night as Delhi Police attempted to take three Youth Congressworkers into custody for their involvement in the AI Summit protests. The confrontation escalated due to procedural lapses and lack of coordination between the two state police forces.

Himachal Pradesh Police repeatedly stopped Delhi Police at multiple points—including Rohru, Shoghi, and Solan—citing incomplete documentation and local jurisdictional concerns. After hours of arguments, the matter was resolved formally, and the Delhi Police team resumed their journey to Delhi.

During the transit, the three accused were taken to Ambala Civil Hospital in Haryana for mandatory medical examinations, a standard legal procedure before court presentation. This move also highlighted inter-state coordination challenges, as Delhi Police had not initially conducted the medical in Himachal, leading to further disputes.
