They were later arrested and removed by the Fort police. Youth Congress workers staged a dharna in front of the regional office of a nationalised bank in Statue which has been accused of denying a loan to Rajani, who committed suicide last week.

The police stopped a group of Yuva Janata Dal workers who marched to the house of the Minister for Welfare of Backward and Scheduled Communities, M. A. Kuttappan, to protest against the suicide.
