They assembled outside the gate of Thackeray's residence, shouted slogans against the RBI and demanded that their delegation be allowed to meet the chief minister, the official said.

"More than 50 protesters, including some women, were detained and taken to Kherwadi and BKC police stations," he said, adding they some of them were later let off.

Later, Thackeray met a delegation of PMC Bank depositors at his residence, heard their grievances and assured all help, an official release here said.

"The government will take necessary steps to ensure justice to the bank depositors. My government will do all it can to cooperate with you," the CM told the delegation.
