Police in Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, detained Congress MLA Abhay Mishra on Tuesday after he arrived at a protest that had been organized against a recent police action. The MLA joined demonstrators who were objecting to the removal of Ram Shiromani Mishra, the father of activist Kalpana Mishra, from the protest ground to a nearby hospital the previous day.
According to local authorities, Mishra was taken into custody under the applicable law for violating the terms of the protest and for alleged obstruction. The police statement said the detention was procedural and aimed at maintaining law and order.
The Congress party has condemned the move, describing it as an attempt to intimidate elected representatives and suppress dissent. Party officials demanded Mishra's immediate release and called for a judicial inquiry into the police's handling of the protest.
