Police used batons to disperse supporters of India’s “cockroach movement” as thousands gathered for a planned protest march.
A police official said the demonstration site had reached full capacity, warning that overcrowding could lead to an untoward situation. Authorities acted to control the growing crowd and maintain order.
Despite the crackdown, large numbers of protesters continued to assemble, with organisers pressing ahead with their demonstration amid heightened security.
