Gandhi's great-grandson, opposition leaders, actors detained across India in protests

Mahatma Gandhi's great-grandson Tushar Gandhi was among those detained during protests that spread across India on Tuesday. Demonstrations and mass detentions were reported in major cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, Jaipur and Chandigarh. Opposition leaders and actors were also taken into custody as authorities moved against the gatherings.

Protesters in Goa organised a rally as part of the wider agitation across the country. The scale of simultaneous detentions across multiple metropolitan areas underscores the nationwide nature of the demonstrations.

Details regarding the specific trigger for the protests and the charges, if any, against those detained remain unclear from available reports.
