An 11-year-old boy was among those detained during Monday's protest at Chaityabhoomi, where Mumbai Police rounded up dozens of demonstrators ahead of what they described as an unauthorised gathering.

His mother, Sandhya Panaskar, alleged that she, her husband, and their son were detained and taken to Worli police station after refusing to leave the protest site. She claimed the child was left shaken after witnessing police drag his father away.
