Detained activist Anna Hazare and 40 other supporters have been taken to the magistrate.
Describing his detention by police as the beginning of the "second freedom struggle", Anna Hazare today asked people to participate in a "jail bharo" agitation.
"My dear countrymen, second freedom struggle has begun and now I have also been arrested. But will this movement be stopped by my arrest. No not at all. Don't let it happen," Hazare said soon after being detained by police.
