Bengaluru: Hundreds of youngsters, including All India Students’ Association (AISA) members and activists from Cockroach Janta Party, were detained when they tried to gather and protest against the ongoing special intensive revision (SIR) exercise outside Town Hall Saturday evening.Earlier, AISA had approached the jurisdictional police from Ulsoor Gate station seeking permission to protest outside Town Hall.

But despite this, AISA went on social media announcing that they would gather outside Town Hall and protest.
