Right-Wing Groups Clash with Protesters in Delhi Amid Police Deployment

Videos circulated showing physical attacks on protesters, with some alleging police inaction despite witnessing the incidents.

The right-wing members claimed opposition to protesters over alleged disrespect to Hindu figures, while protesters demanded the resignation of the Chief Election Commissioner.
