<b>Anti-quota groups run into cops </b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A scuffle broke out between policemen and students agitating against the Centre's reservation policy when the protestors started heading towards Congress President Sonia Gandhi's residence.

Police also resorted to firing water cannons and lobbed tear gas shells to disperse the agitators, who tried to break the security cordon and continue to move towards Gandhi's residence.

Police was able to disperse the students, who suffered minor injuries while trying to get away from the tear gas and water cannons.

The students, who hit the streets after a gap of almost three months to resume their anti-quota agitation a day after Cabinet decided to introduce a Bill in Parliament, wanted to submit a memorandum to Sonia against the Centre's policy.

Students from Indraprastha University, Jawaharlal Nehru University, IIT-Delhi and from medical colleges converged at Jantar Mantar demanding immediate reversal of the Cabinet decision taken late last night.

Chanting anti-government slogans and holding the tricolour, the agitating students said they would go to any extreme to force the government to reconsider their decision
