AISA president Neha Bora has alleged that she was threatened outside Temple Marg police station after arriving for proceedings before a Special Executive Magistrate. She said 50-60 people were present outside the station and that police took no action against them.
Bora described the incident in a video shared on her X handle after appearing before the SEM. According to her account, the crowd was making announcements over a speaker and raising slogans against her. She said the warnings included a threat that she would be confronted if she came to the police station.
The allegation followed the dismissal of Bora's petition in the Delhi High Court. She had gone to the police station after being directed to appear before the SEM. The proceedings relate to a notice issued after Delhi Police detained her during the 'Lahra Do Tiranga' march.
What Neha Bora alleged
Bora questioned why a crowd outside a police station was not treated as a threat to public peace. She contrasted the alleged inaction with the treatment of people protesting against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and demanding an inquiry into him.
She also referred to opposition to the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, known as SIR. Bora said slogans calling for the revision to be stopped were treated as a public-order issue, while the gathering outside the police station was not dealt with in the same way.
The statements are allegations made by Bora in the video. a police response confirming or rejecting her account is not yet available.
What happened in the SEM proceedings
