A video showing anti-Muslim slogans being raised during a protest at Jantar Mantar here was widely circulated on social media, following which the Delhi Police registered a case in connection with the matter on Monday.

Hundreds of people had attended the protest organised by Bharat Jodo Aandolan at Jantar Mantar. Shipra Srivastava, media in-charge of Bharat Jodo Aandolan, denied any links to those who raised anti-Muslim slogans.

Meanwhile, student activists and civil society members gathered near Jantar Mantar on Tuesday to protest against the alleged inflammatory sloganeering at a rally over the weekend. Around 100 protesters were detained by police when they tried to proceed towards Jantar Mantar.
