Delhi protests: Security forces resort to lathi-charge and tear gas shells

Security personnel have resorted to lathi-charging and lobbing tear gas shells to rein in the farmers rioting in Delhi.

Security forces in riot gear can be seen beating the rampaging rioters in Nangloi area, Delhi.

The “farmer” protestors had earlier gathered in a large mob near the Red Fort where they had removed the Indian tricolour and unfurled the Khalistani flag in its stead. Engaged in protests against the Centre’s farm laws, they had also attacked a woman police officer and tried to injure officers by attempting to run them over with a tractor.

Several police personnel have been injured in riots across the capital.
