Listen to the story

A march called 'Lahra Do Tiranga', meaning 'Wave the Tricolour', was held in Delhi. During the event, supporters of two different groups, CJP and BJP, clashed with words.

Police detained two people, Neha Bora and Deepak, during the march. A detention means police hold someone for questioning, but it does not always lead to arrest.

Supporters of both CJP and BJP shouted slogans against each other. This is known as sloganeering, where crowds repeat phrases to show support or anger.

According to reports, the march had no clear leader guiding it. It also lacked a proper strategy, or plan, for how the event should go.

Because of this, the crowd that gathered for the CJP demonstration became disorganised. Without direction, protests like this can quickly turn confusing or tense.

Separately, police are preparing to file a new case against a man named Abhijeet Deepke. The case is related to disturbing the peace, which means causing trouble in a public place.

Deepke had earlier been released on a bail bond. This is a legal agreement where a person promises to follow certain rules after leaving custody.

If Deepke is found to have broken the conditions of his bail bond, he could be arrested again. Authorities are reportedly watching the situation closely.

The events highlight ongoing tension between different political and social groups in Delhi, with public marches sometimes becoming difficult to control.
