One of my facebook friend has given the eyewitness account of the incident at Ramlila Maidan -
@1:40 AM : Baba Ramdev ,, running away from the police and has clambered on stage avoding the police...he is grabbing a mike..which is not working.
@1:45 AM : Baba Ramdev on stage, looking around for a mike.. has no intention of walking quietly into sunset.This isnt going to be a quiet exit.. Oh NO It's total chaos!
@1:50 AM : Baba Ramdev's supporters form ring around him, Police trying to take everyone off stage. Ramdev still doesnt have a mike, refusing to move #ramdev
@1:57 AM : Some Angry supporters arming themselves with bricks & sticks. Oh no oh no!
@1:59 AM : Women and supporters surround Baba Ramdev surrounded him..Cant imagine that police can use force at this time.
@2:02 AM : ooooh. the mikes are up at Ramlila Maidan..finally. #ramdev about to speak..
@2:03 AM : BABA singing Gayatri Mantra.... Good move...
@2:07 AM : A lot of shoving and pushing. Everybody trying to get near the stage. Slogan shouting...
@2:08 AM : Baba Ramdev urges all of Delhi to congregate at Ramlilla grounds. No oh no!
@2:10 AM : I can see smoke....Very strange handling of the issue by the Govt. First mollycoddle him, then arrest him. Did they not know what the permits were for?
@2:16 AM : Reports from the ground say use of tear gas shells by cops .. stones by supporters. what the hell. this is madness. MADNESS
@2:19 AM : Police has used tear gas shells extensively at the ramlila maidan to disperse crowds.. Not seeing Ramdev on stage anymore..
@2:22 AM : Stage on Fire, Using Fire Extinguisher by some supporters!
@2:25 AM : Suddenly the crowd seems to have melted away. Hope they are all out safely.
@2:27 AM : It's the tear gas that cleared out the crowd. In a minute. The tent is more or less empty now.
@2:28 AM : Rapid Acton Force now at Ramlila Maidan; most people moved away from stage by the tear gas shells
@2:31 AM : There seems to be a lone sadhu in the tent shouting slogans. Flag in Hand..
@2:32 AM : Lone Sadhu is picked up by a RAF commando, moving out of stage..
@2:45 AM : PEACE of a cremation!
@2:55 AM : Where is Baba Ramdev ? some reports suggest a chopper has already flown him out of delhi. Awaiting confirmation!
@3:00 AM : Delhi Police commissioner says that Baba Ramdev has not been arrested, just taken to a safe place!
The "drama" (if any one including me thought so) might be over, but the issue remains . . .
He chanted Gayatri mantra - whom did he insult? Gayatri Mantra? Vishvamitra? Or all of us?
Issue of corruption remains . . .and people will decide . . . finally . . .
