In the pre-dawn crackdown, Kishor and his 42 supporters were taken into custody even as 15 vehicles were also seized at Gandhi Maidan.His vanity van was also seized and taken to the district transport office. Today (Monday) marked the fifth day of his hunger strike.Briefing mediapersons about the sequence of events, Kishor said that police picked him from Gandhi Maidan and took him to AIIMS, but the hospital administration refused to admit him as the police did not have the required papers. He added that there was also a scuffle between police and his supporters at AIIMS main gate, adding that the police’s behavior was fine until then but deteriorated later.He also denied that he was slapped by a cop during his arrest from Gandhi Maidan, as earlier claimed by his supporters. He claimed that from 5 am to 11 am, police kept him in an ambulance and took him to different places but did not tell him where they were being taken.“After 5 hours, the police took me to Fatuha community centre. There, they wanted to get a certificate from the doctors after examining me. I told the doctors that I was not permitting this. I was not doing anything illegal,” he remarked, adding that police tried to get doctors there to provide a certificate but they refused to give an illegal certificate.
