According to family members, Saurabh left home on the 14th, saying he was going to Lucknow, and has been missing since. Saurabh’s grandmother and other family members have appealed to the Prime Minister and Chief Minister for justice, while the Youth Congress has termed it political pressure and dictatorship. However, local police officials have currently denied any official information on the matter. This incident has become a topic of discussion from Amethi to Delhi, where the protest by a young activist has put security agencies on high alert.
Trouble has worsened for Saurabh Singh of Amethi, who took off his T-shirt and protested during the Global AI Summit held at Bharat Mandapam in Delhi. NSUI Vice President Saurabh Singh has been absconding since the incident, leading to a joint team of the Special Task Force (STF) and Delhi Police raiding his native village, Sevai Hemgarh. The family alleges that the police entered the house late at night through the back door and conducted a search, causing them mental torture.
