A group of protesters, including prominent political figures, were taken into police custody in New Delhi on Wednesday. Among those detained were a sitting Rajya Sabha MP and a former Chief Minister of Kerala. The individuals were participating in a demonstration near the Connaught Place and Jantar Mantar areas, which are common sites for political protests in the capital.

Visual footage from the scene showed police officers moving to clear the area, with protesters being placed into police vans and transported away from the site. The protest was organized to express opposition to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), a piece of legislation that has frequently sparked demonstrations across India. While the police action was swift, the specific charges or the duration of the detention remain unclear based on current reports. The incident highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the implementation of the law and the government's approach to managing public dissent in high-security zones like central Delhi.
