New Delhi: The umbrella organisation, Campaign Against State Repression (CASR), has alleged that the several individuals including two labour rights activists, two anti-displacement activists, and six students have been abducted by authorities and remain untraceable with none of them contacting their friends, family members, or colleagues till now. In its statement, CASR demanded the immediate disclosure of their whereabouts, an assurance of their physical well-being, access to legal counsel, and accountability from the authorities.According to the CASR press note, Ilakkiya, a Delhi University student pursuing her Master’s in Psychology, and Shiv Kumar, a labour rights activist, were picked up on March 12. They had visited Dyal Singh College to meet faculty member Sachin N., a former elected executive of the Delhi University Teachers’ Association, Academic Council member, and part of the Common Teachers’ Forum, to discuss activities for Anti-Imperialism Week.The group stated that they reached the campus around 12 noon and had lunch at the college canteen as the faculty member was running late.The press note cited shopkeepers as reporting that a woman agent and three to four unidentified personnel in plain clothes forced Ilakkiya into a vehicle equipped with VIP lights outside the college gate near the JLN Metro station at 1 p.m. Ilakkiya reportedly attempted to shout, but the incident occurred rapidly. Kumar was reportedly already inside the vehicle.According to the statement, Ilakkiya had messaged the faculty member around 1 p.m. to ask how long it would take him to arrive. When he returned the call at 1:30 p.m., her mobile phone had already been switched off. The organisation stated that local shopkeepers subsequently informed the area’s beat police officer.The statement also noted that another activist, Manjeet, has been missing since March 13 after attending a CASR programme demanding the release of imprisoned lawyer Surendra Gadling, who is incarcerated in the Bhima Koregaon case.Furthermore, the press note cited local residents as alleging that Delhi Police personnel took seven others from the bsCEM student organisation office in Vijay Nagar, near the Delhi University North Campus, at 8 p.m. on March 13.Previous detentionsThe rights group noted that Kumar was previously arrested during the Singhu border farmers’ protest alongside labour rights activist Nodeep Kaur. His case regarding alleged custodial torture at the Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) office in Sonepat and during subsequent police remand is pending before the Punjab and Haryana high court.The CASR press note cited observations by Justice Deepak Gupta, who previously noted that Kumar had been kept in illegal confinement from January 16 to 23. Kumar was examined five times prior to his medical examination at GMCH-32, which took place almost a month after he was formally shown as arrested. The examination, ordered by the high court, held Inspector Ravinder responsible for the injuries, despite the officer’s denial that Kumar was brought to the facility.The statement noted that Kumar has still not fully recovered from those injuries, raising serious concerns for his current safety.CASR further stated that Ilakkiya, Kiran, and Akshay were incarcerated in Tihar Jail for one month in November last year after a protest against air pollution at India Gate.Additionally, the statement alleged that Ehtemam, Badal, and Gaurav were held in illegal custody and subjected to alleged torture for more than a week by the Delhi Police Special Cell eight months ago.
