Here are the 10 latest developments in this story:
The protesters began walking from Nizamuddin in south Delhi towards India Gate, but were stopped at the Nila Gumbad at a Zakir Hussain Marg intersection. There, four lines of barriers and policemen separated them from India Gate.
The students protested there, holding up placards and shouting slogans, but did not attempt to bring down barricades or break police cordons. They sought the removal of the city's Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar, as well as fast-track trials for rape cases and stricter laws for crimes of sexual assault.
The protesters, mostly young students and women, said it was wrong of the police to have declared all areas of the Capital, except for Ramlila Maidan and Jantar Mantar, off-limits for demonstrations. "This is my city...I should be able to walk wherever I want to, especially at this time," said a woman protester.
Over the weekend, protests at India Gate were punctuated harshly by clashes with the police. A constable died on Tuesday after collapsing during Sunday's violent demonstrations in the heart of the Capital.
Since then, the police has said that any demonstrations must be confined to either the Ramlila Maidan or Jantar Mantar.
