Summary:
Protesters eventually did not burn the effigy, but hit it with slippers and handed it over to ACP (Nand Nagri) Subodh Kumar Goswami. A few tense minutes passed as police urged protesters to read slogans on their placards, asking them to “save Earth from pollution”. The ACP had spent Sunday morning sketching slogans while his operator, driver and four other officers replicated them on other placards. The protesters came armed with Mughal emperor Babur’s effigy, and all that was left was to set it on fire. Goswami and his officers from the Nand Nagari division convinced the group not to burn Babur’s effigy..
