Labour unrest in Noida: CPM MP alleges large-scale detentions, writes to police chief

New Delhi: CPM Rajya Sabha MP John Brittas on Monday wrote to Noida police commissioner Laxmi Singh, alleging large-scale detentions following last week's labour unrest in Noida. He sought a review of all arrests and detentions and prompt release of all persons against whom no cognisable and sustainable material exists. Citing a fact-finding report prepared by a joint delegation of All India Lawyers Union, Students' Federation of India and Democratic Youth Federation of India, Brittas said it "discloses deeply disturbing and prima facie untenable departures from established constitutional safeguards and due process in the matter of arrests and detentions". tnn
