BJP Yuva Morcha activists waved black flags, shouted slogans and held a demonstration while Khurshid was on way to attend a function at Zakir Hussain Trust office in Mau Darwaza area here and were cane-charged by the police.
The protesters alleged that they were assaulted by the security personnel escorting the External Affairs minister.
BJP's city president Gyanendra Chand Gaur later gave a complaint in Kotwali Police Station alleging that Khurshid asked his guards to beat up the protesters.
