Agitating ex-servicemen demanding implementation of OROP were on Friday allegedly manhandled by the police who tried to evict them on security grounds ahead of Independence Day celebrations on Saturday. The police said they tried to evict protesters from various outfits from Jantar Mantar in the heart of the capital following a request by civic agency New Delhi Municipal Council. PTI
