Scores of Tibetans staged a vociferous protest and clashed with police outside Hyderabad House, the venue for the bilateral talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday.
The protesters reached gate no 3 of the building around 11:45 am and started shouting anti-China slogans.
The police tried to pacify them but they did not relent and eventually clashed with the police as they were stopped from approaching the gate. Some of the protesters were also detained by the police.
A group of Tibetans also held a protest at Dhaula Kuan and were forcefully removed from the spot.
On Wednesday, 10 Tibetans were detained after they staged a protest outside Chinese embassy against the visit of the Chinese president.
Xi is on a three-day visit to India.
