Vandalism inside the Red Fort

Chaos reigned at Red Fort on the 72nd Republic Day as the tractor rally by farmers went off course and rolled in into the iconic Mughal-era monument.

Not only was the Nishan Sahib hoisted atop a minaret, but a mob vandalised the fort and also injured cops who were on duty at the iconic structure.

Take a look.
