New Delhi, Aug 11 (IBNS): The Police detained activist AAP leader Yogendra Yadav from the site of a farmers' protest in New Delhi's Jantar Mantar area on Monday.

The former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) claimed that he was 'beaten up and manhandled' by the police.

"I have been beaten up, manhandled, dragged, pushed and arrested at the parliament street police station," Yadav tweeted along with a picture of himself in a torn shirt.

"All of us, 96 in all, are now being arrested. But what's the crime, I wonder. Is standing peacefully with a Hal an offence? We were not obstructing traffic, were willing to cooperate with any reasonable condition," he said later.
