What did you think?

Yellow flags rise above the crowd as protesters press toward police barricades, pushing at the barriers while security personnel try to hold them back. Chanting continues as demonstrators attempt to move through the line.

India's Hindi-language news channel NDTV India, part of New Delhi Television, identifies the crowd as Yadav Mahasabha protesters demonstrating against Dhirendra Krishna Shastri, also known as Baba Bageshwar. Shastri is a Hindu spiritual leader and religious storyteller associated with Bageshwar Dham in Madhya Pradesh, central India. The Mahasabha is a Yadav community organization.

The accompanying report links the demonstrations in Chhatarpur to disputed remarks about the Hindu deity Krishna attributed to Shastri. It says his supporters also took to the streets and blocked a highway near Brijpura, stranding hundreds of vehicles. Police deployed additional personnel and erected barricades amid concern that the groups could confront each other.

This short clip concentrates on protesters pressing against the police line. It does not include Shastri's disputed remarks or a clearly audible individual statement explaining the demonstrators' demands.
