Delhi Police Commissioner, BK Gupta, again relied on his most trusted wing, Crime Branch, to persuade Anna to not sit on hunger strike, before he was detained by police. On Tuesday, a team comprising DCP and additional DCP level officials visited Anna's residence in Mayur Vihar.
"It was a difficult situation to deal with and could worsen to the point of riots any time. Protestors were not pelting stones at the police party but the agitation was of massive proportion. The police team was in depression," said a senior Crime Branch official, requesting anonymity.
"The team, led by DCP (crime) Ashok Chand and including Additional DCP Sanjay Bhatia, MC Katoch and PS Kushwah, met Anna and Kejriwal on Tuesday morning," said police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat
