Man who boasted of cracking skull of CJP protestor's father now claims he acted in self-defence

After backlash over his claim on a podcast that he "cracked the skull" of CJP protestor Nishu Azad's father during Jantar Mantar protest, Swatantra Bhardwaj now said, "What people are calling an attack was an act of self-defence." CJP and Rahul Gandhi demanded Swatantra's arrest and also criticised police after it released a statement, calling the crack-in-skull claim misinformation.
