Around 100 people were arrested Tuesday for protesting the detention of anti-corruption crusader Anna Hazare, but it did not deter supporters from congregating in hordes in and around Mumbai, amid comments from high-profile activists.

"Thousands are protesting peacefully by fasting and holding placards to record their disapproval of Annaji's detention," a volunteer of India Against Corruption (IAC) told IANS. "We are also requesting support to strike work tomorrow (Wednesday)."
