Saharanpur police detained Huda Zariwala, a 34‑year‑old YouTuber and journalist, on Monday on allegations of breach of peace after she caused a ruckus at the Circuit House. Superintendent of Police Vyom Bindal said the arrest followed a confrontation with female police officers who barred her entry while the Leader of Opposition, Lal Bihari Yadav, was present.
According to the police report, Zariwala was stopped by women officers and, despite their attempts to persuade her to leave, she behaved aggressively and refused to comply. She was subsequently produced before a court, which ordered her judicial custody. The arrest was made under Section 170 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, a provision that allows detention to prevent the commission of a cognizable offence. A separate FIR was lodged for allegedly posting objectionable material on social media after the demolition of a mosque within the Saharanpur Collectorate premises.
The incident follows the recent demolition of a mosque on government land, a move that has heightened communal sensitivities in the region. Zariwala reportedly intended to accompany a Samajwadi Party delegation to the demolition site, linking her actions to broader political and social tensions. The arrests underscore the authorities’ focus on maintaining public order amid escalating disputes over the mosque’s removal.
