Protesters gathered at the Gateway of India since Sunday night — to express solidarity with the Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) students, who were attacked by masked goons on Sunday evening — were moved on Tuesday to Azad Maidan by the Mumbai police, effectively ending the brief #OccupyGateway movement.

"We appeal to all of you to vacate Gateway of India and relocate to Azad Maidan. We had already informed your organisers that as per Bombay High Court guidelines there cannot be any agitation outside (the limits of) Azad Maidan," Deputy Commissioner of Police Sangramsinh Nishandar told protesters at 7 am on Tuesday.
