Dhurandhar Actress Ayesha Khan Detained by Mumbai Police
Indian student protests against education system issues have drawn celebrity participation, with actress Ayesha Khan detained by Mumbai Police while standing near protesters in Dadar. Khan and others say she did not initiate or actively participate in a demonstration, but she was escorted into a police van by four female officers and later taken to Worli Police Station for questioning. She described her hands trembling and questioned why she was detained, posting video updates to social media that went viral. Reports indicate her detention occurred during a broader protest linked to NEET paper leak concerns and calls for education reforms, part of a wider Chalo Sansad movement that has seen involvement from students, activists, and public figures. After interrogation, Khan was reportedly released, and she used her posts to highlight concerns about accountability and the role of authorities in handling protests. The events underscore the growing visibility of entertainment industry figures in social issues and the ongoing tensions between protesters and police over activism near educational campuses.
