Delhi Police today arrested Indian Youth Congress President Uday Bhanu Chib, in connection with the shirtless protest at Bharat Mandapam during the India AI Impact Summit 2026.
Four Youth Congress leaders had entered the summit venue through online registration before staging their demonstration, triggering a political flashpoint that now centres on a reported India–US trade agreement.
The protest at Bharat Mandapam triggered detentions, tighter security and a sharp political face-off between the BJP and Congress.
The Congress on Monday accused the Central government of "treason" and held Union Home Minister Amit Shah responsible for the snooping and hacking of phones of journalists, judges, and politicians, and demanded a probe.
