The arrest was made from Ajay Kumar’s residence in New Usmanpur, where the attack on Kanhaiya Kumar took place. The police officials are continuing efforts to apprehend other individuals involved in the case.

In the complaint filed by Councillor Sharma, she described the incident: “Some persons came and put a garland around Kanhaiya Kumar. After garlanding him, some persons threw ink on Kanhaiya Kumar and tried to assault him.”
