Security has been beefed up outside the residence of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. About 70 protesters were detained during the Monday march, and an FIR had been filed against unidentified persons for violence and vandalism.
Delhi Police said protesters displayed 'unruly, aggressive and violent' behaviour during the protest, while the protesters accused the police of using excessive force.
