The protest was organised by the Hindu Jagaran Vedike against the women who yelled "Pakistan Zindabad" slogans on Thursday. A young woman, holding liberation placard was seen sitting among the participants of the protest.
Bhaskar Rao, city police chief said she was escorted out of the place as the Vedike members asked her to leave and crowd started to gather.
While talking to reporters Rao said, "She has been now taken into custody for her own safety along with the placard...we will find out her background, where she has come from and who are behind her among other things. However, no slogans were raised by her."
On the placard, the slogans, "Kashmir Mukti, Dalit Mukti, Muslim Mukti" were written in both Kannada and English.
When cops were asked about her arrest, the Commissioner said let the investigation be held. "It is too early as she has just been taken into custody," he added.
On Thursday, later in the evening, Amulya Leona had raised the "Pakistan Zindabad" slogan thrice in the presence of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi after the organisers of the event under the banner of "Save Constitution" invited her to address the gathering, prompting him to denounce her act.
After being removed from the stage, she was later arrested on charges of sedition and produced before a magistrate court which remanded her to 14 days judicial custody.
Owaisi, on an upset note had said he would not have taken part in the protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act had he known that the woman had been invited for the event and asserted his party had no links with her.
