'This Is Gunda Gardi': Uttarakhand HC Pulls Up Police For Detaining UPP Leader Heading To CJP's Parliament March

'This Is Gunda Gardi': Uttarakhand HC Pulls Up Police For Detaining UPP Leader Heading To CJP's Parliament March

According to a report by Times Now, the Uttarakhand High Court has expressed strong disapproval regarding the actions of state police involving the detention of United People's Party (UPP) leader Prabhat Dhyani. The report alleges that Dhyani was taken into custody while traveling to participate in a protest march organized by the Citizens for Justice and Peace (CJP) in New Delhi. During the proceedings, the court reportedly characterized the police action as 'Gunda Gardi,' a colloquial term often used to describe thuggery or lawless behavior by authorities.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions regarding the right to protest and the scope of police authority in Uttarakhand. While the report suggests the court has intervened to question the legality of the detention, these claims remain unverified by independent news agencies or official court transcripts within the current reporting cycle. The UPP has reportedly framed the detention as an attempt to suppress political dissent and prevent participation in the capital's demonstration.

As of now, there has been no official statement from the Uttarakhand Police department regarding the specific grounds for the detention or a response to the High Court's reported remarks. NoorNews has not been able to independently confirm the details of the court hearing or the current status of the UPP leader. Readers are advised that this story is based on a single-source report and further verification from legal or official government channels is pending.
