Police reportedly resorted to lathi-charge and lobbed tear gas shells to bring the situation under control.

The cops have taken momentary control of the area, which now resembles a war zone, and have deployed in large numbers to ensure security, reported NDTV.

Police have closed vehicular movement from Okhla Underpass to Sarita Vihar due to the clash.
