Mumbai: Protests in Mumbai’s Azad Maidan over the ethnic violence in Assam turned violent after a section of the crowd burnt vehicles, including media vans. The police had to then fire in the air and lathicharge the crowds to control them.

Roads leading to Azad Maidan were blocked and the police managed to control the mob after 30 minutes.

Police are still verifying what agitated the crowds. The State Reserve Police and riot control police were pressed into action to bring the situation under control.
