The location of the port on India's southern tip was seen as key to winning business from ports in Dubai, Singapore and Sri Lanka. That spurred hundreds more to gather at a police station on Sunday night, demanding the release of those arrested. "They came with lethal weapons and barged into the station and held the police hostage, threatening that if people in custody were not released they would set the station on fire," the police said in the case document on the incident.Many of the protesters were Christians led by Roman Catholic priests.
