A protester at Jantar Mantar challenged police to beat him, saying ‘Mujhe maaro, sir, maaro!’, during a lathi-charge and tear gas shelling by security forces.
The police used mild lathi-charge and tear gas to disperse a crowd marching towards Parliament as part of a Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) protest.
A viral video shows the unarmed protester standing amid security personnel and asking them to beat him with batons.
The protest coincided with the start of Parliament's monsoon session on Monday in New Delhi.
