Indian police detained dozens of opposition protesters in New Delhi on Tuesday to prevent them from marching to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence. The protesters were demanding the release of their leader, Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested last week in a bribery case.
Supporters of Kejriwal gathered at India’s Parliament House to begin their march, but were surrounded by policemen, some in riot gear. The police detained some protesters, who were chanting “Long Live Kejriwal” as they were taken away in buses. The detained individuals are expected to be released later in the day.
