The police, on Monday, detained nine Tibetans for allegedly protesting outside Imperial Hotel where the Chinese delegation is staying. The delegation includes China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (New Delhi) B.K. Singh said, “Nine protestors have been detained at Connaught Place police station. They were protesting 200 metres away from the hotel near the police barricades”.
Suspecting demonstrations, the police, “for security reasons” had shut down Janpath Metro Station and blocked Janpath Road for the public which made commuting difficult for many.
Mr. Singh said that no other protest was staged till Monday night.
Mr Wang is here to attend the Russia-India-China (RIC) Foreign Ministers’ meeting which was held on Monday with his Indian and Russian counterparts Sushma Swaraj and Sergey Lavrov.
