Indian police detain dozens demanding release of Modi opponent
INDIAN police detained dozens of opposition protesters today to stop them from marching to far-right Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence to demand the release of their leader, New Delhi’s chief minister.
Nearly 300 supporters of Arvind Kejriwal, who was arrested last week in a bribery case, gathered at India’s Parliament House to begin their march.
Policemen, some in riot gear, surrounded the protesters and detained some.
