Demonstrators gathered near Akashwani Bhawan to voice their opposition to the Chief Election Commissioner, with the protest intensifying as police moved in to control the crowd. During the confrontation, protesters hurled stones at police personnel, resulting in at least two injuries among the law enforcement ranks.
Police personnel responded by pursuing the demonstrators through the area, attempting to prevent further escalation of the situation. The protesters continued to chant slogans against both the police and the Chief Election Commissioner as officers attempted to manage the volatile situation.
Authorities subsequently shifted protesters to buses, effectively dispersing the gathering from the site. The exact nature of grievances against the Chief Election Commissioner that prompted the demonstration was not immediately clear, though such protests have periodically emerged over electoral matters and governance concerns.
