Thousands of farmers protesting against the farm laws on Tuesday overwhelmed the police and stormed into the historic Red Fort complex in New Delhi after tearing down barricades and driving tractors through roadblocks. Police fired tear gas in an unsuccessful bid to force the protesters back. One protester was killed and the Delhi police said 86 officers had been injured across the city.
In one shocking video shared by news agency ANI, around a dozen police and paramilitary personnel can be seen forced to jump over a 15-foot wall at the Red Fort complex to escape a mob. In the video, the police personnel are seen being thrashed with lathis and sticks, and backed against the edge of a rampart.
