About 200 protesters blocked the high-security Vijay Chowk access to Parliament House in New Delhi protesting against the acquittal of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case last week.
Sikh groups have been protesting since a trial court acquitted Sajjan Kumar, a former Delhi MP, of all charges in one of three riots cases against him.
The protesters say they will not stop their street protests till the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which prosecuted the case, appeals against the verdict in a higher court.
