Shah later informed the Congress leaders that he has directed the Delhi Police to release the list of all those arrested, the sources said.
Concerns have been raised in Punjab over some of the youths having gone “missing” after they were protesting at the Singhu border and had participated in the agitations at the Red Fort on Republic Day. (PTI)
