However, police said 15 AAP workers were detained during the protest but did not comment on the allegations of house arrest.

AAP's protest was led by national convener and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and was held on the same stretch as the counter-protest by BJP against the alleged scams of the Delhi government.

AAP leaders also claimed that their people were prevented by the Delhi Police from reaching the protest venue to join their cohorts. At least 80 AAP workers, mostly from Punjab, were detained at the Singhu border while trying to enter the city, a senior police officer from the outer-north district said, asking not to be named, adding that six vehicles were also confiscated.

"The detained workers were taken to different police stations from where they were released.
