Dangal on Delhi streets: Wrestlers detained, Jantar Mantar cleared out, and a vow to return | A recap
Dramatic visuals emerged from the wrestlers’ protest march as hundreds of cops and paramilitary personnel blocked their advance towards Parliament House. As the protesters tried to breach the security cordon, a fierce tussle broke out – the wrestlers and cops pushed, shoved and grappled with one another.
For the past 35 days, the wrestlers have been staging a sit-in protest at the Jantar Mantar against Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh, who stands accused of sexual harassment by several women grapplers, including a minor.
