The incident took place when Singh and others were trying to hold a protest after SP leader Akhilesh Yadav was allegedly stopped at the Lucknow airport and was not given permission to fly to Allahabad where he was supposed to address students.

Some other Twitter handles had said on Tuesday that Singh, who was earlier president of the Allahabad University Students Union, had been attacked.

Citizens for Justice and Peace (@cjpindia) February 12, 2019

Protests erupted across Uttar Pradesh after the incident with Yadav.

SP Chhatra Sabha leader Illyas Adnan that when SP student members and leaders tried to go on a shanti march, the police attacked them.

Sabrang India quoted Adnan as saying , They beat up several SP leaders including Dhananjay Yadav, Azamgarh MLA Sangram Yadav and also Mahindra Patel from Phulpur who were present at the protest. But were particularly brutal in the manner in which they beat up Richa Singh. She sustained head injuries and they also broke two of her teeth! She fell unconscious but we were not even allowed to take her to the hospital. She was arrested and taken to police lines.
