The 50Dalits had been travelling to Lucknow with a 125-kg bar of soap which they were going to give to Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.
Earlier this year, members of a scheduled caste in a UP village had alleged that they had been given bars of soap and been asked to "clean up" for a visit by the chief minister.
All 31 activists were later released.
