In the video captured at the scene, police officers can be observed actively taking action to remove people, including Congress workers, who climbed the excavator machines as part of the protest.
Despite the police intervention, the residents appeared to resist, refusing to go with the officers' directives.
These houses were allotted to freedom fighters several decades ago. Seeing the houses falling into crumbs, the agitated residents continued to slogan against the district administration of Indore.
Furious, residents and Congress leader Akshay Bam even climbed onto the excavator machines, that were knocking down the houses. A team of the police personnel were also present at the scene, working to stop the protest and restore order.
