SHIMLA: The 24-hour-long standoff between the police of Delhi and Himachal Pradesh ended on Thursday, with the latter allowing its counterpart to take three Youth Congress activists arrested in connection with the “shirtless protest” at the AI Summit to the national capital.
A day earlier, the Himachal Police registered a kidnapping case against its Delhi counterparts and “detained” their vehicles at the Shogi border near Shimla along with the three Youth Congress activists when they were en route to Delhi.
In a late-night development, the three accused, along with Delhi Police personnel, were taken to the residence of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Ekansh Kapil after undergoing medical examination at the Deendyal Upadhyay Zonal Hospital here and were granted the transit remand.
Later, the Delhi Police personnel were detained in the state capital, and a few police personnel were allowed to return to the national capital with the accused.
