YouTuber Dhruv Rathee Alleges Kidnapping by Plainclothes Men

YouTuber Dhruv Rathee has alleged that around 20 plainclothes men entered his home while he was asleep and took him away without identifying themselves, calling it a "kidnapping" rather than an arrest. He said he was held for about 20 hours, denied access to a lawyer or phone, and sustained injuries. He also displayed his passport to reject citizenship rumours and accused the government of an "unofficial emergency" ahead of a protest against the chief election commissioner.
