The Delhi Police said that when they reached the spot after hearing the incident, all the 'kanwariyas' had already made their escape. However, in the video, it is seen that while the 'kanwariyas' hit the vehicle the police stand there as mere spectators. There is also no attempt to stop the 'kanwariyas' from wrecking the vehicle.
