ACP Jay Prakash, who was injured, told mediapersons that some protesters tried to move towards Parliament Street on Wednesday when the commotion broke out.

"I was on duty at the protest site near Jantar Mantar. The protesters continued shouting slogans and creating a disturbance on the road. Some protesters attempted to move towards Parliament Street. We tried to stop them by placing barricades on Parliament Street, forming a human chain, and persuading them not to proceed further. However, some of them suddenly started throwing plastic water bottles and stones."

The ACP said he was hit by a stone on his forehead.
