The police said the protest was held without permission and that orders prohibiting gatherings were in force at the time. The Delhi protest in Monday coincided with the start of the Monsoon Session. While the police stopped the protest leaders from proceeding, some demonstrators moved closer to Parliament and gathered at other locations in central Delhi. Following the police action, supporters gathered at various locations across the country, including at Chaityabhoomi in Mumbai. The Mumbai Police detained several persons, including students, from Chaityabhoomi, Dadar railway station, Shivaji Park and Mahim to prevent large gatherings.
