New Delhi:
The massive protest against the gang-rape of a 23-year-old medical student turned rowdy on Sunday with several unruly elements allegedly manhandling and harassing women.
"We tried stopping them. They were using abusive language. When we asked them to back off, they refused. We also requested them not to throw water bottles at the police. There are many of them who are drunk and are eve-teasing. They have come here just to have some fun," a young girl told NDTV.
Minister of state for Home RPN Singh had earlier warned that section 144 had been imposed to make sure that "the young people who are protesting peacefully are not injured because of chaos caused by a handful of people that might try to cause trouble."
