The massive protest against the gang-
rape of a 23-year-old medical student
turned rowdy on Sunday with several
unruly elements allegedly manhandling
and harassing women.
"We tried stopping them. They were
using abusive language. When we asked
them to back off, they refused. We also
requested them not to throw water
bottles at the police. There are many of
them who are drunk and are eve-teasing.
They have come here just to have some
fun," a young girl told NDTV.
Minister of state for Home RPN Singh had
earlier warned that section 144 had been
imposed to make sure that "the young
people who are protesting peacefully are
not injured because of chaos caused by a
handful of people that might try to cause
trouble."
