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.

"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.
