New Delhi, Feb 1 (IBNS): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday accused the city's police of terrorising protesters after a video of the force hitting out at college students went viral.

He also alleged that the police action was stimulated by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

"Del pol being used by BJP/RSS as their pvt army to terrorize n teach lesson to anyone opposing BJP/RSS. I strongly condemn attck on students," Kejriwal tweeted.

The students staged a protest on Saturday over the suicide of Rohith Vermula, a young Dalit scholar who had been suspended by his university in Hyderabad.

The video, which went viral, shows the police hovering around the placard-waving and chanting students.

The police suddenly resorted to beating the protesting students with wooden sticks and their fists.
