A huge crowd had camped out outside her 10 Janpath residence Saturday night. To the surprise of many, she came out past midnight, sat with them and spoke for some 20 minutes.

The day's protests also drew political activists. But most appeared to be people with no particular affiliation.

Amid all this, yoga guru Ramdev reached the Jantar Mantar protest site also in the city centre standing atop a bus. Later, many of his supporters made their way to India Gate shouting slogans.

Earlier, police evicted protesters from near India Gate but succeeded only partially.

Many young men and women were grabbed and forcibly led away towards parked buses. But many slipped through.
