: Four students of Satyawati College, Delhi University, were detained when they allegedly tried to stop Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s car to submit a memorandum to him. The incident happened on Tuesday, when Mr. Kejriwal was leaving the institute after attending a fest there.

The Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia had gone to attend the annual NCC fest, where they were the chief guests. The students have been identified as Dhanpal, Raj Singh, Raj Aryan, and Utkarsh Bhardwaj. “We wanted to submit a memorandum of our demands including an AC bus and metro concession passes for students, university-special and women-special buses, and better facilities for differently abled students. We wanted to approach him peacefully, but were detained by the police,” Dhanpal claimed. The college authorities, however, said the students wanted to click selfies with Mr. Kejriwal.
