There was chaos at Delhi's Jantar Mantar after a scuffle broke out between wrestlers & police officers, who were captured on camera pushing and shoving each other.

The police officials were also captured clearing the protest site at Jantar Mantar, where the wrestlers had been staying since they resumed their protest against former WFI Chief Brijbhushan Sharan Singh on April 23.

The security at Jantar Mantar had already been beefed up following the wrestlers' call to hold a Women's Mahapanchayat in front of the new Parliament building, which was inaugurated by PM Modi on Sunday. The cops had also previously stated that they will not allow the protestors to disrupt the event at any cost as no permission had been granted to them.

The cops also said the grapplers have been detained for violating law and order since they breached their security cordon & broke through the barriers while trying to march toward the new Parliament building.

According to Special CP (Law & Order) Dependra Pathak, the cops will take legal action after an inquiry.
