Superintendent of police Dipankar Trivedi said 60 other AAP members were also held as they the meeting was being held without permission.
Those detained also included AAP MLA from Delhi Gulabsingh Yadav and Gujarat AAP leader Kanu Kalsaria.
The spokesperson of AAP’s Gujarat unit Harshil Nayak said Mann and others were detained four km from the venue. Mann, MP from Sangrur in Punjab, earlier told reporters that they were informed after midnight that they were denied the permission to hold the rally.
“I had heard a lot about Gujarat model. I thought it was a model of progress, but when I came here I found out that it is nothing but a model of Hitler. We were not allowed to hold our rally, our tents were removed at night,” he said.
