Ninety-minutes of persuasion by a senior police official did not move Anna Hazare an inch as he stood firm on his plans to defy prohibitory orders, leading to his charged-up supporters trying to prevent his detention.
Chants of 'Bharat Mata ki Jai' and 'Vande Mataram' rented the air as tri-colour waving supporters of Hazare almost made a human wall around the vehicle carrying the Gandhian to a police facility.
As it struck 0730 hours in the clock, police informed the Gandhian that they were taking him into custody as their efforts to convince him failed and the khadi-clad Gandhian came out of the flat in east Delhi's Mayur Vihar after instructing his aides to release his pre-recorded message.
A little after six am, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Ashok Chand drove into the apartments to convince Hazare not to go ahead with fast, a job which he could not fulfil as the Gandhian remained adamant.
The crowd outside the apartment, which was initially just a bunch of locals, grew while police reinforced themselves with a larger contingent arriving at the scene.
