Scuffle broke out near PM's office

The location of the scuffle is very close to the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Home Affairs, and the country's Parliament.

Police have said that the vendors misbehaved with private guards, while a video has surfaced in which it can be clearly seen how private guards assaulted poor vendors.

Rules changed after Central Vista project

Before the Central Vista project started, India Gate was frequently visited by vendors selling snacks, photographers offering unique images, and parents riding children's bikes with flashing lights. The monument's ice cream stands were a big favourite with Delhi residents out for a drive or looking for dessert because they kept open late into the night.

After work on the Central Vista project started, a lot of this was altered. Vendors were asked to pack up early because the area was severely barricaded. As the work increased, they were eventually taken out of the region.

Case registered at Tilak Marg Police Station

At present, Police Station Tilak Marg has registered a case on the complaint of private guards, but no action has been taken regarding the assault on the vendors. It is alleged that some common people were also misbehaved.

Vendors charged with culpable homicide and assault on public official

According to the police report, the vendors were charged with attempted culpable homicide, assault on a public official, and other offenses.
