Police used tear gas and batons on Monday. They broke up a large protest in New Delhi, India.

Thousands of Cockroach movement protesters had marched toward Parliament. At least 60 protesters were hurt in the clash.

Police said 118 of their officers were injured too. The march happened on the first day of Parliament's monsoon session.

Reports say the protests were partly triggered by the forced hospitalization of hunger-striking activist Sonam Wangchuk. A day after the crackdown supporters returned to their protest site.

Police had torn down the camp but protesters rebuilt it. Movement organizers said they are canceling a planned march.

This came after the police action. Reports say government leaders have since held early talks with movement representatives. One meeting included a movement spokesperson and Health Minister J.P. Nadda.
