I am being taken to Delhi: Chandra Sekhar Aazad tweets a day after he was arrested in Hyderabad

Hyderabad/IBNS:  Bhim Army Chief Chandra Shekhar Azad on Monday said he was being sent back to Delhi from Hyderabad where he was arrested as he was going to join an anti-Citizenship (Amendment) Act or CAA rally in the city.

"Dictatorship has touched its height in Telangana. People’s right to protest has been taken away. First, our people were beaten with sticks, then I was arrested, now I have been brought to the airport and being sent back to Delhi. @TelanganaCMO Remember Bahujan society will never forget this insult. We will be back very soon,” he tweeted in Hindi.

Delhi’s Tis Hazari court recently granted bail to Bhim Army chief Chandra Shekhar Aazad in connection with a case related to violence during Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 protests in Daryaganj area of New Delhi.

Aazad was arrested by Delhi Police after Bhim Army's protests against CAA had turned violent in Daryaganj.

The Indian government last month released the Citizenship Amendment Act.

The new citizenship law had triggered widespread violence and protests.
