Farmers Enter Red Fort Complex: Vandalizes Police Vehicle Wave Flags

New Delhi: Hours after breaking down police barricades at Delhi border, protesting farmers were seen vandalising a police vehicle after deviating from the agreed route and reaching the heart of Delhi. 

In visuals emerging from ITO, one of the main intersections in Delhi near media offices and the police headquarters, policemen in riot gear appeared to be outnumbered. The policemen were seen running or hiding behind cars as farmers armed with sticks chased them.

The protesting farmers were seen vandalizing a public bus and trying to topple it. Two buses had been used to block the farmers from progressing further on the crucial road connecting to the top government offices in the capital.

Thousands of protesters broke through barricades, attacked policemen with sticks and vandalised a police vehicle after deviating from the agreed route of a farmers' tractor rally and reaching the heart of Delhi.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) today closed the entry and exit gates at several metro stations as thousands of protesting farmers entered the national capital as they took out a tractor rally against the new farm laws.
