TMC leaders were forcefully evicted from the spot by Delhi Police, with MPs being dragged and physically carried away by police personnel 

Police said they were detained as protests are not permitted outside the Home Ministry`s office due to prohibitory orders and security concerns 

A police officer said TMC MPs Derek O`Brien and Mahua Moitra along with other party leaders were detained and taken to Parliament Street Police Station

TMC leaders shared images of the MPs being forcefully removed from the site by Delhi Police, and slammed the Union government over it. "What kind of arrogance is this Amit Shah? Are you now using your Delhi Police to assault elected representatives just to crush democracy? Is this how dissent is silenced in your India?" the TMC said

"Admit it, you are rattled! First, the shameless misuse of the ED. Now, an attack on the peaceful dharna of our eight MPs. This desperation exposes your fear. You may try to choke democracy, but Bengal will not be cowed. Shame on you and your police!" it added

Holding placards and raising slogans alleging misuse of the ED, the eight MPs of the TMC tried to enter Kartavya Bhavan, which houses the Home Ministry. The MPs were stopped from entering the building, after which they staged a protest at the gate. Later, they were forcefully evicted from the protest spot by Delhi Police
