India===Indian Youth Congress workers staged a 'shirtless protest' at the AI Impact Summit 2026 in Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. The protestors, including Krishna Hari, Kundan Yadav, Ajay Kumar, and Narasimha Yadav, wore T-shirts with provocative slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the India-US trade deal, and allegedly engaged in scuffles with security personnel. A Delhi court deemed their actions a 'blatant assault on public order' that jeopardized India's diplomatic image and the sanctity of the international conclave. The court granted India===Delhi Police five days of custody for the four arrested individuals, citing risks of absconding and potential external conspiracy links. The accused face serious charges under BNS Sections 121 and 61(2).
