Meanwhile, Atishi took to the social media platform X and alleged that police had "illegally" nabbed the two people who were reporting and making a video of "MCC violations." 

"No action was taken against those making the violation," claimed the CM, running for AAP from the Kalkaji constituency.

Sharing a video in the post, Atishi said, "The boy who was making the video was beaten and taken away by the police. You can see in this video that the police are kicking him. Action was taken against the person who made the video. Nothing against the person who broke the rules."
