Some people wanted to hold a protest near the home of an important Indian leader named Rahul Gandhi.

Rahul Gandhi leads the party that is not in power in India's parliament.

The area near his house is a high-security zone, so protests are not allowed there.

A group of sadhus, who are holy people, tried to protest anyway.

Some of the people in the group were women.

Police officers stopped them to keep the area safe and orderly.

At least eight people were taken by the police, which is called being detained.

Being detained means the people had to go with the police.

Everyone was stopped before anything unsafe happened.
