Did the violence erupt because protesters broke barricades, or did police action trigger the chaos?
In this exclusive NDTV conversation, CJP spokespersons Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das respond to allegations that protesters turned violent during the march. They claim the demonstration remained peaceful until police intervened, alleging that barricades were opened before a lathi-charge led to panic and serious injuries.
