Police push protesters toward Connaught Place
Police responded with lathi charge and tear gas to break up the crowd, pushing protesters toward Connaught Place.
By mid-afternoon, the protest site was cleared out fast.
The unrest spread across Lutyens's Delhi, causing traffic jams and damage to over a dozen vehicles.
