The police said in the FIR that they came to know that some 15 Muslims women without taking permission had gathered in Ghaziabad's Sani Bazaar Road with anti-government posters. After getting information, when the police team reached there, the women started shouting slogans. Soon after that, the protesters got into a scuffle with the police.

Visuals in the video showed the policemen eventually using force to disperse the protesters. A woman in burqa was seen in the video trying to stop a policeman from hitting her with a stick.

Notably, the video that emerged on Wednesday is said to be a three-day-old video of police using batons to disperse the women protesters in Ghaziabad.

As per the updates from the police, the women protesters attacked the officers, which led to a scuffle. However, the matter was pacified later.
