UPYC (east) chief Vishal Singh and some other workers sustained minor injuries as the police used mild force near the UPCC headquarters. The protesting youth wing workers were taken into custody and sent to Eco gardens from where they were later released.

“Yes, about 150-200 Congress workers were detained and some of them may have sustained minor injuries,” said a police official.

Former Congress MLC Deepak Singh said senior Congress leader and leader of opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi was raising issues that have agitated the youths across the country.

UPYC (central zone) working president Ankit Tiwari said that the BJP government has made a record of paper leaks and the Congress has demanded re-NEET and resignation of union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
