The man who made headlines by throwing ink on Baba Ramdev two months ago was detained by police again on Saturday, when he turned up at Taj Palace Hotel to protest against Booker Prize winner Salman Rushdie.

Kamran Siddiqui (39), who runs an NGO called Real Cause, had earlier said he would be marching with a large group to protest against Rushdie’s presence in the city. But he was alone when detained, police said.

A law graduate from Jamia Millia Islamia, Siddiqui is out on bail in the Ramdev case.

Rushdie is in Delhi to attend a conclave organised by a media group. His book, The Satanic Verses, is banned in India and several other countries.
