The situation was quickly normalised and both groups were separated.
A group of Nihang Sikhs and student protesters clashed with each other on Thursday during the ongoing Cockroach Janta Party-led students’ protest at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi.
While what triggered the clashes among the agitators was not immediately clear, a purported video shared by a news agency shows a group of Nihang Sikhs in an argument with the protesters.

The situation was quickly brought under control and both groups were separated.
This comes amid CJP claims that people affiliated with the ruling BJP may have infiltrated the protest to discredit it by resorting to violence.

“People are being sent from outside to deliberately disrupt the protest. We have been sitting here for a month. No such incident has happened in a month. But now, as this protest has grown, goons are being sent from outside by the BJP to deliberately incite people,” Dipke said after some protesters allegedly attacked the police on Wednesday evening.
“These are the people from the BJP who are pelting stones. The police bring trucks of stones here. BJP goons come, they pelt stones and then defame the people of CJP…,” the CJP founder added.
