Police use water, batons to control India protest

Published November 17, 2014

Police are using bamboo batons and water canons to control thousands of angry protesters marching in New Delhi against corruption involving last year's Commonwealth Games.

The crowd that gathered outside the Parliament building Tuesday support India's main opposition party.

Angry scenes also took place inside Parliament as Bharatiya Janata Party lawmakers chanted against the government.

A recent audit slammed India's preparations of the games as flawed, costly and riddled with favoritism.

The audit could result in criminal prosecutions and has added to the woes of the already scandal-plagued ruling Congress party.
