The Delhi Police detained 40 people in connection with a violent protest in Daryaganj here on Friday, officials said.
According to the police, the protesters set ablaze a private car parked at Subhash Marg, Daryaganj. The fire was immediately doused with water and fire extinguishers.
The Delhi Police resorted to lathicharge and used water cannon to disperse protesters as violence marked a march against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act on Friday with stones being hurled on security personnel.
Police, however, denied baton charging the protesters and using teargas, saying it used "mild force" and water cannon.
"Hours after the violent protest near Delhi Gate, around 36 injured people, including eight policemen, got medical treatment at Lok Nayak hospital. One person who has got a fractured leg is admitted, while two others who have suffered minor head injuries are under observation and not yet admitted," Dr Kishore Singh, MS, Lok Nayak Hosp told PTI
