Congress workers clashed with police in Kota, Rajasthan, during a protest against NEET paper leak and lathi charge on students in Delhi. Police used water cannons to disperse the crowd.
The protest in Kota was organised by the Congress party to express solidarity with students who were allegedly beaten up by police in Delhi. The party workers marched towards the district collectorate, but were stopped by the police. The situation turned violent when the protesters tried to breach the police barricades. The police had to use water cannons to control the crowd and prevent them from reaching the collectorate. The protest was peaceful initially, but took a turn for the worse as the day progressed.
