Tricolor refers to the Indian national flag, which has saffron, white and green bands. The rally comes in support of two of the movement's leaders — Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das — who were sent to a five-day detention in prison on Wednesday over charges including alleged trespassing, violation of prohibitory orders and breach of a peace bond.
