Police took into custody the parents of Ankita Bhandari at Rajghat in Delhi after they staged a protest demanding justice for their daughter, prompting activist Yogita Bhayana to question the move.
Delhi police arrested the parents of Ankita Bhandari at the historic Rajghat site on Tuesday, citing the need to maintain public order. The detention came after the couple joined a demonstration calling for a swift investigation and accountability in the case of their daughter's death.
The protestors, led by the grieving parents, demanded that the authorities expedite the legal process and ensure that the perpetrators are brought to justice. Their presence at Rajghat, a prominent public space, attracted media attention and prompted a police response.
Human‑rights activist Yogita Bhayana publicly questioned the police decision, arguing that detaining the parents could intimidate other victims’ families and hinder the pursuit of justice. Bhayana called for a transparent inquiry into the reasons for the arrest.
No further details about the charges or the duration of custody have been released by the police, and the parents' legal representatives have not commented at this stage.
