Police release Baba Ramdev and supporters

Yoga guru Baba Ramdev and around 8000 followers were freed from detention by the police on Monday.

Refusing to leave Ambedkar stadium in central Delhi, he said he would not break his fast today.

Ramdev demanded food for his supporters from the governement.

He was arrested earlier on Monday along with his supporters when they tried to march towards Parliament on an anti-Congress plank demanding immediate steps to bring back black money and to protest against corruption.

Ramdev was arrested near the Ranjit Singh flyover, about three kms away from Parliament, under Delhi Police Act provisions for preventive custody when he ordered thousands of his followers to march towards Parliament House.

With government ignoring his protest and refusing to engage with him, Ramdev had been threatening to announce his future strategy since Saturday.
