NEW DELHI [NCRBuzz Wire] — ### Preventive Detentions Executed Under Section 144
**Delhi Police placed activists Neha Bora and Abhijit Dipke into preventive custody on Sunday to prevent public order disruptions during the 'Lahara Do Tiranga' demonstration in Central Delhi.** The detentions were carried out pursuant to prohibitory orders enforced under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), which restricts unauthorized assemblies in sensitive commercial and administrative zones. Tensions mounted around Connaught Place when participants associated with CJP encountered counter-demonstrators, prompting law enforcement personnel to intervene and disperse opposing groups.
### Political Reactions and Procedural Inquiries
**Student organizations including AISA, along with several Members of Parliament and a former Chief Minister, formally demanded the immediate release of the detained activists.** In a press briefing preceding the event, organizers had declared plans to register grievances regarding administrative decisions, specifically referencing Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Concurrently, investigators placed Dipke's recent movements under review, specifically tracking logistical arrangements and visits to the residence of an NCP leader to verify authorization compliance and assembly planning.
Preventative detentions under Section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure are standard administrative measures employed by police in New Delhi to deter public safety violations and unauthorized assemblies in high-security commercial and governmental districts.
