While the Chinese Prime Minister was meeting scientists on the ground floor of the IISc building, a Tibetan protestor held a dramatic protest on the roof.

Tenzing Tsundue, the general secretary of the Friends of Tibet, appeared on top of the Indian Institute of Science building. He hoisted the Free Tibet banner in full glare of the international media.

There were tense moments as police feared the youth might jump from the building.

Though the police managed to arrest him, the protestor had already strewn the campus with Free Tibet literature and rent the Sunday afternoon quiet with his slogan "Azaadi hona chahiye" (we want freedom).

"There is a lapse. There is no doubt about it," said Kishore Chandra, joint commissioner of police, Karnataka.

The 40,000 Tibetan refugees living in the southern state had been warned not to stage any protests during the Chinese Premier's visit to Karnataka.
