00:02Images coming in right now from the Akashwani Bhavan where you can see the Delhi police personnel attempting to detain
00:09Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi who were seated there for the last nine hours on Adharna.
00:15All the other Congress leaders around the Gandhis have already been detained. They've been forcibly taken by the Delhi police.
00:23We can confirm for you now that Rahul Gandhi is also being detained by the Delhi police.
00:28Charanjeet Chani, Dipinder Ghuda all taken into custody right now.
00:33So the dharna effectively being forced to come to an end by the Delhi police.
00:38The Congress leaders, the Gandhis were all set to continue their dharna through the night.
00:42But it looks like now the Delhi police have decided to crack down.
00:46You see all of the Congress leaders being taken away in buses, attempts being made to detain Rahul Gandhi.
00:52You will remember that one month ago we saw similar images of Rahul Gandhi when he attempted to continue his
00:58dharna and was literally carried away by the Delhi police.
01:01Will we see similar images now too is the question.
01:05I want to take this across to Shreya Chatterjee for more details. Shreya, take us through what you're seeing around
01:10you.
01:12All the protesters, all the protesters being detained right now, you can see that bus on your screens right now,
01:18where one by one, all the protesters who are inside are being detained one by one.
01:23You can see Charanjeet Singh Channi, he's been brought in, Manikam Tagore, Pawan Khera, Dipinder Hoda, all of them being
01:32removed one by one.
01:34No one will be allowed inside Akashbani Bhavan to continue this sit-in protest.
01:38That is for sure right now because here you see the visuals on your screen.
01:42That bus is where all the protesters being detained.
01:46I can see DCP New Delhi, Sachin Sharma, he is also requesting cooperation from the side of Priyanka Gandhi and
01:54Rahul Gandhi.
01:55But clearly, since they were continuing their sit-in protest, these are the visuals that you can see from right
02:01outside, right inside Akashbani Bhavan.
02:04As clearly, Delhi police officials waited all this while and now they are removing the protesters one by one.
02:15So these are the live images on our screens right now. Rahul Gandhi hasn't officially been detained because he's resisting
02:22these attempts by the Delhi police to take him into custody.
02:25He's continuing to maintain that he wants to sit on an overnight dharna.
02:29You see those images on the right of your screens from inside Akashbani Bhavan.
02:33It's in that particular pocket that you have Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi seated right now.
02:38It's all playing out right now in the Akashbani Bhavan. All the other senior leaders, we're being told Channi, Huda,
02:45have all been detained.
02:46Pawan Khaira has been detained. Each of them being forcibly taken in.
02:50I can see there a glimpse of Priyanka Gandhi as she sits there on a dharna.
02:55So clearly the Gandhi's refusing to budge, refusing to cooperate with the Delhi police, saying we are well within our
03:01right to go ahead and continue our dharna.
03:04It's happening inside the Akashbani Bhavan. Stones throw away from the EC office.
03:09They tried to go towards the EC office, were blocked by the Delhi police, which is why they're based right
03:14there in the Akashbani Bhavan.
03:16So the Congress leader is asking what's wrong with us, staging a protest here.
03:20You see the manner in which several of the Congress carders have been taken into custody as well.
03:25All right, the left of your screen, more images coming in.
03:27You see Rahul Gandhi seated there, refusing to move.
03:31There are attempts by the Delhi police to lift each one of them forcibly and take them to the bus,
03:37detain them.
03:37And that's how you can see the likes of Pawan Khera, etc. have already been detained.
03:43KC Venagopal seated there. Rahul Gandhi holding on to his colleagues and refusing to budge.
03:49It's all going down in the national capital right now.
03:52At this point, the Delhi police attempting to clear Akashbani Bhavan, trying to clear the entire gathering and take in
04:00the Gandhis also into custody.
04:03Gaurav Savant will take it and get you all the latest updates from here.
04:06So Gaurav over to you.
