A dramatic standoff unfolded between the Delhi Police and the Himachal Pradesh Police on Wednesday after the Delhi Police arrested three Indian Youth Congress members from a hotel in the Rohru area of Shimla district in connection with an FIR registered on February 20 over the protest at Bharat Mandapam.

While the Delhi Police maintained that they had secured a valid transit remand from a local court in Shimla, the Himachal Pradesh Police alleged procedural lapses and registered a kidnapping case against unidentified Delhi Police personnel. The drama ended the next day and a Delhi Police team returned to the national capital with arrested Youth Congress workers.
