New Delhi, Dec 30 (ANI): Amid anger and grief in the entire country over the death of a 23-year-old Delhi gang-rape victim, there was chaos at the Jantar Mantar here on Sunday as the protestors clashed with the police personnel deployed on duty.
The protestors, who have been making all attempts to move towards the strategically located India Gate, also made attempts to break the police barricades.
