The Delhi High Court on Sunday asked the city police to file an affidavit explaining the circumstances and the authority of law under which it detained certain activists last week. The Delhi police counsel said all detained persons have been released and the matter was "not so simple". ADVERTISEMENTIn a special Sunday hearing, a bench of Justices Navin Chawla and Ravinder Dudeja directed preservation of relevant CCTV footage showing how the police took them away. It also listed for hearing on Monday a petition related to one of the detained activists, following his counsel's claim that he was yet to be released. Around 10 activists including students were picked up from outside the Dayal Singh College and Vijay Nagar, the lawyers alleged.
