Many protesters were detained while protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and National Register of Citizens in Central Delhi's Turkman Gate on Thursday, 16 January.

The protest had started on Wednesday night, and on Thursday evening, around 4,500 protesters were present at the gate.

Sara Javed Chawla, one of the protestors, said police detained some of the demonstrators on Thursday morning.

“I was in Khureji last night when I got to know about the protest at Turkman Gate. Several women were protesting here and I rushed to join them,” said Chawla.

The shopkeepers in the area closed their establishments and came out to form a human chain.
