Ahead of the proposed march by the Congress leaders, the Delhi Police on Monday, June 13, 2022, imposed section 144 CrPC in the area around party headquarters at Akbar Road here asking them not to violate the law.

Hours before Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to appear before the Enforcement Directorate in connection with a money laundering case, the Congress workers who gathered for the march against the ED on Monday were detained from areas around AICC office at Akbar road here and taken to Mandir Marg police station, officials said.

A day before the scheduled march, the Delhi Police has denied permission for it.

“Hours before the scheduled appearance before the ED, the Congress workers have been detained Akbar Road, Q Point APJ Kalam Road and Man Sing Road and taken to Mandir Marg police station,” a senior police officer said.

The police has also put up a poster of the order at the barricades outside the AICC office.
