High drama on road as Ramdev forces police U-turn,post-arrest

Even after arrest,Ramdev refused to let police dictate terms,bending them to his will with ease.

High drama was witnessed this evening after arrested yoga guru Ramdev travelled on the top of a bus refusing to go to a faraway makeshift jail on the city’s outskirts in Bawana.

Hours after his arrest in the afternoon and with thousands of his supporters trailing him,the bus he was travelling caught in a huge jam.

The yoga guru then forced the police to take him to a football stadium in central Delhi instead.

Ramdev,who was to be taken to the makeshift jail in Bawana,also demanded that all the thousands of his supporters be taken to custody.

A senior police official said they did not take Ramdev to Bawana as it would take long to reach the locality in Outer Delhi.
