“We’ve heard reports of a scuffle that broke out at the protest site a little while ago. Delhi police, which has deployed personnel in huge numbers along with riot police forces have said that this is misinformation, that no scuffle has broken out, but videos that are circulating online tell a very different story of riot police forces using canes to push people back.”

Neha Poonia reported that while Delhi police denied any scuffle, circulating videos showed riot police using canes to push people back.

“We’ve seen protests break out even inside metro stations with the government having sealed the exit points for some metro stations that are close to Jantar Mantar. That has not stopped protesters, they’ve been getting off a few stations away and then walking, all the while chanting slogans and holding up the Indian flag,”
