By 6pm today, the police released all arrested Hindraf supporters, including 20 children, except for nine people who are still being detained for questioning.
The nine, including two women, all aged between 35 and 40, were remanded for repeatedly defying police instructions to disperse.
They are believed to be the organising committee members of today’s gathering, including Manickavasagam.
According to Kuala Lumpur police chief Muhammad Sabtu Osman, a total of 124 individuals, including a mother and her daughter, were picked up by police.
He also said the nine would be remanded today. One of the men is on the police wanted list for a criminal case in Sentul.
When contacted, a tired Mahendran said that at Pulapol all arrested people were taken in for questioning in batches and he was in the last batch.
“I was arrested at 10.30am and was kept at Pulapol until about 6pm. I am now released without any charges,” he said.
