Delhi Police Crime Branch’s Interstate Cell took over the investigation into Indian Youth Congress members involved in the protest at the AI Impact Summit.
The handover followed initial arrests, including that of IYC president Uday Bhanu Chib, after demonstrators disrupted the government-backed artificial intelligence conference. Interstate Cell specialization covers offences and conspiracies crossing administrative boundaries.
Investigators will examine whether protest planning involved coordination across states or funding channels warranting federal-style scrutiny within Delhi Police. Video footage from the summit venue and social media posts are likely evidence sources.
Political parties traded accusations over whether the protest constituted legitimate opposition or unlawful intrusion on a secured event. Crime Branch takeover often indicates complexity beyond a simple local trespass matter.
Youth Congress supporters rallied outside police stations demanding release of detained leaders while the Interstate Cell began formal witness examinations.
Interstate Cell detectives are identifying whether Youth Congress activists from outside Delhi travelled specifically for the AI summit protest. Charge selection will depend on whether evidence shows premeditated breach of cordons or spontaneous participation in an unlawful assembly.
Delhi Police said Interstate Cell oversight ensures coordination with other states if additional Youth Congress activists are identified as organizers of the AI summit demonstration.
