Chilli Spray To 'Hidma' Slogans: What Happened At Delhi's Toxic Air Protest
The protest at Delhi's India Gate on Sunday evening against the toxic air in the national capital turned violent and chaotic as some protesters allegedly attacked police personnel with chilli spray while being removed from the site. A group of people even raised slogans supporting Madvi Hidma - a top Maoist leader who was killed in an encounter in Andhra Pradesh earlier this month, prompting legal action.
According to the police, the protesters sat in the middle of the road at India Gate without permission for around an hour, raising slogans and waving posters. When the police intervened and asked the demonstrators to stop the protest, they reportedly turned violent, broke baricades and sprayed chilli spray, injuring three to four cops.
