Amid those caught on camera beating up students, journalists and teachers at a Delhi court was OP Sharma, a state legislator from the BJP. The politician said today that outside court, he heard a man shouting pro-Pakistan cheers. He said he was hit first and then retaliated. "I got hurt on the head...if someone hits me or strikes my head, then shouldn't I hit back?" he said today, alleging that his retribution was "a natural act".
