Mumbai/IBNS: Muslim preacher Mufti Salman Azhari was on Sunday detained by the Gujarat Police's Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in collaboration with Mumbai cops over his inflammatory speech, media reports said.


Mufti was detained at the Ghatkopar Police Station in Mumbai prompting his hundreds of supporters to protest outside demanding his release.

As the mob was relentless in protesting outside the police station, Mufti appeared and requested them to stop the agitation.
