CJP Protest Spreads Across India| Meet The Woman Who Stopped A Police Van In Mumbai | Barkha Dutt

Barkha Dutt introduces the viral image of Ria Ail, who stood alone in front of a police van during a protest in Mumbai, allowing other protesters to escape from the back of the vehicle.

Ria explains that her actions were driven by frustrations over systemic issues, police brutality, and a desire to be part of a voice for those being silenced. She highlights that knowing her legal rights gave her the confidence to stand her ground.

Ria describes her interaction with the police, noting their inability to produce a detention memo and her own efforts to document the incident to ensure accountability.

Ria discusses how her family background (a father in the army) and her upbringing shaped her sense of duty and patriotism. She shares her future plans to pursue acting and her belief that national service should be mandatory.

Ria concludes the interview by redefining Gen Z as 'zidi' (stubborn in a positive, determined sense), emphasizing the need for courage and sacrifice to reclaim national identity.
