Detentions and Slogans at 'Tiranga March' in Delhi
Listen to the story
There was a march in Delhi called 'Lahra Do Tiranga'. This means 'Wave the Tricolour' in English. The tricolour is the Indian flag. It has three colours.
Police took two people away. Their names are Neha Bora and Deepak. This is called a detention. Police hold people for a short time. They do not always arrest them.
People at the march were from two groups. One group is called CJP. The other group is called BJP. These are not easy words, so we call them supporters. Supporters like and help a group.
The two groups shouted at each other. This is called sloganeering. People shout words again and again. Often, the words show their beliefs.
The march did not have one clear leader. It also had no clear strategy. A strategy is a plan for doing something. Without a plan, the crowd became confused.
There is also a man called Abhijeet Deepke. Police may open a new case against him. It is about breaking the peace. This means causing trouble in public.
Deepke had a bail bond before. A bail bond is a promise to follow rules after leaving jail. If he breaks the rules, police can arrest him again.
