New Delhi: The Delhi Police on Friday detained more than 200 Congress protesters, including 50 Members of Parliament, from Lutyens' Delhi, officials said.

The protest began near the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office, a senior police officer said.
The detained leaders also include Members of the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi and Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury.
New Delhi Deputy Commissioner of Police Amrutha Guguloth got injured in the hand during the protest and was given first aid treatment, the officer said.
