Vandalism inside the Red Fort

Last updated on: January 28, 2021 01:59 IST

Chaos reigned at Red Fort on the 72nd Republic Day as the tractor rally by farmers went off course and rolled in into the iconic Mughal-era monument.

Not only was the Nishan Sahib hoisted atop a minaret, but a mob vandalised the fort and also injured cops who were on duty at the iconic structure.
