NEW DELHI: Students detained during demonstrations against rising pollution levels in the Delhi-NCR region were taken to the Parliament Street Police Station, where they are undergoing medical examinations, officials said on Monday.
The detentions followed Sunday's protest at the C-hexagon, where 15 individuals were taken into custody after allegedly refusing to disperse despite repeated warnings from the police.
Officials confirmed that an FIR has been registered under multiple sections, including those related to obstruction of government work. Delhi Police said around 15 people were arrested, with some picked up from India Gate and others from outside the Parliament Street police station.
Authorities alleged that the group used pepper spray during the protest, causing irritation to three to four policemen, who were subsequently taken to a hospital for treatment.
