The Police on Thursday resorted to use of water-canons and force to disperse a group of BJP activists who went on a rampage during a protest against Delhi government.

The activists pelted stones at police, damaged two vehicles and tried to break the security cordon to proceed towards Parliament house, prompting police to resort to use of water canons and force to bring situation under control.

Some protesters and three photo-journalists suffered injuries in the protest.

As police prevented the activists from moving forward at Jantar Mantar, they resorted to violence and tried to break the security cordon.

They also allegedly pelted stones at police resulting in the damaging of a police vehicle and a DTC bus.

Following this, police resorted to force. Some of the protesters ran into Jantar Mantar to avoid police action.

The BJP activists were protesting against the alleged corruption in Delhi government. They also demanded the dismissal of Sheila Dikshit government.
