Restrained, detained, contained: Clampdown foils stir, thousands confined to home, nabbed on way

NEW DELHI: Unprecedented security arrangements from central Delhi to the borders, phalanxes of 35,000 police and paramilitary personnel and a virtual choke on metro services and trains foiled Cockroach Janta Party’s march to Jantar Mantar on Saturday. The city, however, remained on edge, with young protesters being detained on their way to the protest site and bundled into buses and vans, kicking and screaming, through the day.
