Angry protesters demanding scrapping of the law took to streets on Tuesday in Northeast Delhi's Seelampur area . The protestors torched several motor bikes, pelted stones at police personnel and damaged buses and a police booth.
Police resorted to baton charge and fired tear gas shells to disperse the protesters. Plumes of smoke billowed from at least two localities as the standoff continued for around one-and-a-half hours. Police said the situation has been brought under control.
