17-Year-Old Boy Detained at IG Park During Prime Ministerβs Visit
ITANAGAR β A 17-year-old boy, was detained by police at Indira Gandhi Park (IG Park) in Itanagar on Monday during the Prime Ministerβs official visit to Arunachal Pradesh.
According to sources, the teenager was taken into custody after allegedly waving a black flag and displaying a banner that carried a message of protest. Eyewitnesses claimed the boy was swiftly apprehended by security personnel and escorted away from the park premises as the Prime Ministerβs program was underway.
The police have not yet released an official statement detailing the charges or the circumstances of the detention. However, concerns have been raised over the treatment of the minor, as he is under the age of 18 and falls within the ambit of the Juvenile Justice Act.
Local voices on social media quickly drew attention to the incident, with some questioning whether the boyβs act was an expression of dissent or a security breach. Civil society members have urged authorities to ensure that due legal procedures are followed and that the rights of the minor are protected.
As of this report, it remains unclear whether a formal case has been registered, what legal sections may apply, and whether the youth has been released to his guardians or placed in juvenile custody.
