The description added the video shows says that the incident took place near Lahorie Gate in Amritsar on Tuesday (6 June). It is clearly visible in the video that the Hindutva activists were being protected by the Punjab police personnel. The police also rounded up some Sikhs who were trying to prevent the activity of Hindutva group.

Ultimately, a Singh who managed to break the defence line formed by the police made Hindutva activists to flee from the scene.
