What is about to follow is a first-person account of Daljit Kaur, an employee of the Subzi Mandi branch of IDBI bank in Delhi, where violence ensued on Saturday morning as a group of goons attacked bank officials with stones and injured several of them.

"Like the last two days, we had a long queue of people waiting to deposit and exchange their money, and we were going according to the procedure. We were allowing 4-6 people at a time to come inside the bank.

But suddenly one person forced himself inside and got into a tussle with the security guard. He then called his father and a group of around 6-7 goons. They started to abuse us and threw really big stones.

When they broke the glasses, we panicked and ran to hide. Some of us went to hide inside the washroom, while the others locked themselves up in the secure vault area of the bank. We were hiding there for almost one hour. Several people got injured because of the stone pelting, including a customer.
