Advocate Prashant Bhushan on Tuesday approached the Delhi High Court against the "illegal detention" here of 90 people, including former AAP leader Yogendra Yadav.
Advocate Kamini Jaiswal mentioned the matter before a division bench of Justice B.D. Ahmed and Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva, and said the fundamental rights of the arrested people were violated by the police action.
The bench posted the matter for 4 p.m.

The plea alleged that lawyers were not allowed to meet the detainees.
