India News: Police had to use water cannons to disperse scores of BJP workers who clashed with police during a protest near the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) office here on Monday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers were seeking the ouster of the CBI Chandigarh region chief Mahesh Aggarwal, alleging that he had leaked information about the raids of the CBI's Delhi team on former railways minister Pawan Kumar Bansal's nephew Vijay Singla in the railway bribery case.
BJP leader and former union minister Harmohan Dhawan alleged that Aggarwal, a relative of Bansal, had leaked the information about the raids to Singla's family.
He alleged that crucial evidence of the bribery scam was taken away by the family just before the CBI's Delhi team raided Singla's residence and office.
