Bollywood actor Imran Khan was detained during protests in Delhi and taken to a police station, The Indian Express reports. The detention was reported by the paper's journalist Nayonika Bose.
The actor's detention came as demonstrations unfolded in the capital, with opposition parties including the Aam Aadmi Party, Trinamool Congress and Left parties criticising the Delhi government's handling of the situation, according to The Indian Express.
The protest drew wider attention as several participants were taken into custody. AAP described the crackdown as a "Black Emergency," according to NDTV, while Rediff reported protesters saying the situation was "worse than Emergency" and describing it as living under a dictatorship.
Delhi Police detained Arvind Kejriwal while he was marching toward Jantar Mantar, The Hindu reported. After his detention, Kejriwal shared a video message, with The Times of India reporting his remark that the "youth has awakened."
The Indian Express reported Imran Khan's detention specifically; the other outlets named above covered the broader protest and the detentions of other participants.
Details on the total number of people detained, the specific charges, if any, and whether Imran Khan has been released were not available in the source material.
What to watch next: whether Delhi Police release a statement on the detentions, and whether Imran Khan or other detained figures comment publicly.
