A witness alleged that police forcibly removed Sonam during a protest by pretending to be a medical team. According to the witness, officers dressed as doctors claimed they had come for a medical check-up, but they were actually police personnel. Protesters repeatedly asked to see the court order that allegedly authorized the action, but none was shown. The witness said police waited until Abhijeet briefly left for the washroom before carrying out the operation, suggesting it was pre-planned. An ambulance had reportedly been brought in advance, and Sonam was allegedly taken away against her will. The witness claimed several volunteers were pushed, beaten, and injured, with some bleeding from their hands and chest. Protesters said they were misled into moving away from the stage while police secured the area with ropes and barricades. The witness also expressed concern that Abhijeet may have been detained outside. They accused plainclothes police of using force and deception to disperse the protest and detain Sonam.
