Congress' topless protest at AI Summit inspired by Nepal's Gen Z movement: Delhi Police

Officials alleged that the demonstration, held during a high-profile summit attended by global leaders and tech executives, was part of a larger conspiracy to defame the country internationally.

Youth Congress members who staged a topless protest against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the AI Summit in New Delhi were influenced by Nepal’s Gen Z movement that toppled the government, Delhi Police told a court on Friday. 

Officials alleged that the demonstration, held during a high-profile summit attended by global leaders and tech executives, was part of a larger conspiracy to defame the country internationally.

“This is a larger conspiracy that has taken inspiration from the Gen Z protests in Nepal. The accused need to be confronted with each other as well as with digital evidence. This is a very important investigation,” the police told the court. 

Meanwhile, the Patiala House Court sent all four arrested accused to police custody for five days. Bail applications of all four accused have been rejected.
