00:00Has the police taken him away?
00:02Has Abiji Dipke been taken away by the police?
00:05I saw supporters stopping him.
00:07If you can hear me, the Delhi cops there had said,
00:10all right, sir, we are taking you in preventive custody,
00:12is what I heard, while he asked, what have I violated?
00:15What law have I violated?
00:16What do you see right now around you?
00:18Has he been taken away? Is he being stopped?
00:27So, Puja, what I am trying to tell you is that
00:30Abiji Dipke, he just started from the residence
00:32where he was currently staying at Rani Lakshmi by Mark
00:35and he was marching out towards that lane
00:39and the police were present outside this area.
00:41The police took him into custody.
00:43He was made to sit in the police vehicle.
00:46The supporters, they stopped that car
00:49and the police did not let the car stop
00:52and the car moved.
00:53So, this is how the police has taken him now with them.
00:57Whether he will be allowed or he remains in the custody,
00:59we need to see that
01:00because the police had given out a notice to him
01:02this afternoon that there is no permission
01:05for any kind of a march,
01:06any kind of a gathering in Connaught Place
01:09and he had given that signature.
01:11That means he had received that notice.
01:13So, the police had given them,
01:14given a clear directive
01:16that you are not allowed to hold
01:18at any kind of a gathering there at CP.
01:21It hampers the law and order situation.
01:23I want to immediately go to Connaught Place right now
01:26where Preeti Chaudhary is.
01:28Preeti, most likely not even be allowed
01:30to come to Connaught Place
01:31if he's been taken in custody.
01:32Preventive custody is what Delhi Police is saying.
01:34What happens there on?
01:36Have the supporters there,
01:38have they now been told?
01:40Do they know that Abiji Dipke
01:41has been taken away by the cops?
01:48Well, you know, I'll just tell,
01:50I'll ask my camera person, Pawan,
01:51to actually show you on the other side.
01:53We are towards the inner circle
01:54and if you can see,
01:55now the cops are moving in.
01:57They are barricading the entire area
01:59from those who attempted,
02:02the CJP supporters attempted
02:04to come towards the inner circle.
02:05So now there is a practical human chain,
02:09multi-tier of the paramilitary forces,
02:12the CRPF there,
02:15making a human chain of sorts
02:17and not allowing anyone from the other side
02:20to come in.
02:20Yes, you know, there is a sense
02:22that has filtered in
02:24where many CJP supporters are concerned
02:27that possibly Abiji Dipke
02:29has been taken into preventive custody.
02:31On the other hand, Pooja,
02:32there is also word coming in
02:34that Neha Bora and the left
02:35have now at the last minute
02:38understanding
02:38that they would not be able
02:40to permeate, you know,
02:42inside the inner circle of CP,
02:44keeping in mind
02:45the kind of police presence
02:46and paramilitary forces present
02:48have decided now
02:49to make a go for Mandi House.
02:51I believe that left leaders
02:53and left students
02:54are headed towards Mandi House,
02:56which is not very far off
02:58from the inner circle CP
02:59to unfold the Tiranga there.
03:01Here, as you can see,
03:03the police is not using force
03:05at all till now.
03:07We are closing in to 5pm,
03:08which is the clarion call of the CJP,
03:10while the inner circle fortification continues
03:12and you can see even senior officers
03:14stand guard.
03:16The women RAF rapid action force
03:19right here,
03:20even despite that,
03:21these three young ladies
03:23have been allowed to stay put
03:25and continue to hold on
03:27to that national flag.
03:30But inside,
03:31it's a sea of paramilitary forces
03:34and multi-tier rings outside as well.
03:37So, till now,
03:37there is no attempt,
03:39at least of CJP supporters
03:41to try and make an attempt.
03:43Though, what we are hearing is,
03:45especially from Kasturba Gandhi Mark,
03:48there are contingents
03:49of the CJP supporters
03:50who are trying to move in.
03:52There is also,
03:53what we do know now,
03:54the left leaders
03:56and left students
03:56are on their way
03:58towards Mundi House
03:59and they will be unfurling
04:00the tricolor
04:01at Mundi House.
04:02Neha Bora,
04:03last minute change of plan
04:04and moving towards
04:06Mundi House there.
04:07So, this is the situation
04:09on this side,
04:10which is completely fortified.
04:13Once again,
04:13it's a little dystopian
04:15because in midst of all of this chaos,
04:17the traffic continues to flow through
04:19and you can see
04:20a steady stream of traffic
04:22which is allowed to come in.
04:25I want to once again,
04:26Pooja,
04:27go to the other side
04:28and give you a sense
04:30of how now
04:31the paramilitary forces
04:34are completely
04:37forming a human barricade
04:39between those on the other side
04:41of the inner circle
04:42and those who are this side.
04:45So, if you can see,
04:46it's like a five-tier barricade right now.
04:48This was the same metro station
04:51that I had showed you earlier.
04:53There was no police presence there.
04:54So, strategy right there
04:56of the CRPF here.
04:58This is the CRPF contingent
05:01and the CISF there
05:02forming a five-layer barricade
05:05blocking those supporters
05:07who would now want to
05:09make their way
05:10to the inner circle
05:11of Knot Place
05:14which has been
05:15the designated spot
05:17of unfurling the tiranga
05:18as per the CJP.
05:20Sir, you want to speak
05:21to the press?
05:22Why are you here?
05:24I'm here because
05:25of so many new incentives
05:26is there.
05:27I was also here in the restaurant.
05:28I was here in the restaurant.
05:29I was here in the restaurant.
05:29fa love is here in front of a friend,
05:29and I was here in the restaurant.
05:29You
