Overview

• Immigration at Delhi airport stopped Bhanu Tatak from boarding a Dublin flight on Sunday after a lookout circular issued by Arunachal Pradesh Police was flagged.
• Inspector General of Police Chukhu Apa confirmed the circular and said she faces about 10 to 12 cases, including allegations of instigating violence and urging women to confront a cabinet minister.
• Police say the notice is tied to two pending Itanagar cases: a 2021 alleged criminal trespass and mischief at BB Plaza Mall and a 2022 alleged defacement of the Civil Secretariat’s "Wall of Harmony" mural.
• In the mural case, Tatak was charge-sheeted alongside Assamese artist Nilim Mahanta and activist Ebo Mili, with investigators alleging she financed the act by transferring funds.
• Itanagar SP Jummar Basar denied any complaint linked to the Siang dam movement as the Arunachal Pradesh Youth Congress condemned the action, claimed no advance notice was given, and voiced concerns over silencing dissent; Tatak was set to begin a three-month programme at Dublin City University on September 9.
