#CABProtest in Mumbai was less protest and more arrest ! Crowds of students and professionals were continuously dispersed or herded…at times roughly into the waiting police vans. But voices will not be silenced by knee jerk police action. #CitizensAgainstCAB #MumbaiAgainstCAB pic.twitter.com/hiXeylLGoW
