Hyderabad | High drama unfolded in Hyderabad on Wednesday as police halted a protest march by members of the All India Youth Federation (AIYF) en route to the US Consulate. The demonstration, held in opposition to what protesters described as "US imperialism," took a tense turn as activists clashed with law enforcement officers before being detained.

Protesters, some wearing masks resembling former US President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, raised slogans condemning US foreign policy and accusing the Modi government of compromising India's global standing in the name of diplomacy and strategic alliances.
