The video of the brawl purportedly shows two groups armed with belts and lathis, with one forcing the other group out of the society. One group appeared to include uniformed security personnel. According to an RWA member, “The previous RWA, after alleging irregularities in the election, was threatening the security agency that they would get them replaced. Today, they came with goons… Residents came and a fight happened.” However, another RWA member alleged, “There are issues in the new RWA as some members contested election without clearing their maintenance dues.”
Anshu Jain, Circle Officer of Kotwali Nagar, said, “Police have detained three people, while others are being identified. Further legal action will be taken.” Police said the three were not society residents or employees of the security agency, but were security personnel from outside.
