Thousands of Indian farmers protesting controversial agricultural reforms stormed New Delhi’s historic Red Fort, with others breaching barricades and clashing with police, writes CNN.

Protesters scaled the walls of the iconic monument and a flag was hoisted alongside India’s national flag.

Tear gas and flash bangs could been seen on live streams from the city’s streets as police moved to contain large crowds of protestors in tractors and on foot from breaking through barricades. Both police and protesters were spotted with large sticks in the streets.

One protestor, 30-year-old Navreet Singh, died when a tractor overturned during the protests near Delhi police headquarters, Sanjay Bhatia, deputy commissioner of police said.

Police also said that 86 officers were injured and 22 police complaints were registered against protestors for violation of lawful directions, rioting, damage to public property and assault on public servant with deadly weapons, in incidents that took place across the city.
