The Delhi Police is actively seeking video footage from various media organizations to identify members of the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) who staged a shirtless protest at the India AI Impact Summit 2026 held at Bharat Mandapam on February 20. The police believe the protest was premeditated, involving a structured plan and roles among the protesters, who wore T-shirts featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's image. According to police sources, the protest aimed to incite a riot-like situation and was deliberately held at the summit venue, rather than designated protest areas like Jantar Mantar. Fourteen IYC members have been arrested in connection with the protest but have since been released on bail. The police are awaiting responses from media organizations regarding the requested footage, which they believe will provide crucial evidence about the protest's planning and execution.
