Police clash with supporters of Delhi minister

I

ndian riot police armed with batons beat back dozens ofsupporters of Delhi'€™s Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday to prevent themfrom joining the self-declared anarchist at a sit-in protest.

On the second day of his dramatic showdown with the capital'€™s police force, Kejriwal ruled out all talk of negotiations and then watched his supporters try and storm the barricades sealing off the protest site outside the home ministry.

The police drove back around 100 of them using sticks known as lathis, leaving many with cuts and bruises but no immediate sign of serious injuries.

The clashes came after Kejriwal, a grassroots anti-corruption crusader before coming to power last month.
