Odisha Police detained eight supporters of the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) on Thursday for their protest against RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat.

The incident occurred in the Mancheswar area as Bhagwat was en route to a meeting. The students, aligned with the Congress, attempted to show black flags, opposing remarks Bhagwat made about India's independence.

NSUI's Odisha unit, under the leadership of Udit Narayan Pradhan, demanded an apology from Bhagwat for stating that India's 'true independence' began with the Ram temple consecration.
