A Delhi Court today granted four days’ police custody of Indian Youth Congress (IYC) President Uday Bhanu Chib in connection with the protest held at Bharat Mandapam during the India AI Impact Summit 2026.
According to officials, Chib is accused of being the main conspirator and mastermind behind the incident of unlawful assembly at the venue of AI Impact Summit and was reportedly involved in raising anti-national slogans. Delhi Police alleged that Chib, in conspiracy with co-accused Shree Krishna Hari, Kundan Yadav, Narsimha Yadav, and Ajay Kumar Yadav, obstructed and assaulted police officials on duty and during interrogation. The police stated that the investigation into the case is ongoing, and Chib’s custody has been sought for further questioning and proper investigation.
Chib was arrested under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), including section 196 for promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, place of birth, residence, or language, which is a non-bailable offence. The ongoing investigation into the Indian Youth Congress protest during the summit has been transferred to the Delhi Police Crime Branch.
