Nearly 10 persons, including a policeman and two journalists, were injured after workers of the Congress and the BJP’s youth wing BJYM clashed and pelted stones at each other during a protest in Indore on Saturday (February 21, 2026), officials said.

Chaos broke out after a group of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) members reached Congress office ‘Gandhi Bhavan’ here and tried to lay siege to it to protest against a demonstration by Youth Congress workers at the ‘AI Impact Summit’ in New Delhi a day earlier.
