Three detained for protest outside Tanishq showroom

Surat: Three persons associated with Rashtrawadi Hindu Sangathan were detained for staging protest outside the Tanishq jewellery showroom on Ghod Dod Road on Thursday. About half-a dozen men had staged protest over the now withdrawn advertisement.
Police detained Amit Aahir, Dipak Chauhan and Piyush Parajapati for allegedly carrying out the demonstration. They were carrying banner and shouting slogans demanding apology from the jewellery brand in connection with the advertisement.
The group had earlier planned a rally from Yogi Chowk area in Kapodra. But due to continuous vigil by police they dropped the plan of organising the rally.
“We had kept close watch on those who were planning the rally. Meanwhile, they came in a small group and tried to hold demonstration. But they were detained immediately,” said a police officer at Umra police station.
They were released at around 6 pm from Umra police station after they gave assurance that they will not get involved in unlawful activity.
