Delhi Police arrested eight people, including Indian Youth Congress president Uday Bhanu Chib, after a Youth Congress protest at the India AI Impact Summit.
Demonstrators confronted the high-profile technology gathering, prompting law enforcement to detain participants alleged to have violated security or public order rules. Chib’s arrest drew political attention because of his formal role leading the youth wing of the opposition Congress party.
The India AI Impact Summit assembled government ministers, industry leaders, and international delegates to discuss artificial intelligence policy. Protests at such events often trigger dual narratives about democratic expression versus summit security protocols.
Police may pursue charges related to unlawful assembly, trespass, or obstruction depending on video evidence and witness accounts. Congress leaders condemned the detentions as suppression of dissent while organisers emphasized the need for uninterrupted conference proceedings.
All eight arrestees were processed through standard protocols before potential bail hearings. The incident placed India’s political opposition and its technology ambitions in the same news cycle.
Summit security staff testified to overcrowding near entry gates as protesters pressed toward the venue hosting the India AI Impact Summit. Delhi Police separated the eight arrestees for questioning about roles in planning, funding, and on-site conduct during the demonstration.
