They were taken into preventive detention over apprehension of breach of peace, but released later, Station House Officer Yamunanagar City Kanwaljeet said.

 

AAP leader Chitra Sarwara was among those detained briefly.

'Right to hold protest, right to raise voice in a peaceful manner are guaranteed in the Constitution. But such reaction from the government shows their insecurity,' she said.

'They call it Amritkaal, but it is Apatkal (emergency), which has been declared by the BJP. They want to suppress the opposition voice,' Sarwara said.
