Bhim Army leader Chandrashekhar Azad, who on Friday gave the Delhi Police a slip to reach Jama Masjid, said his name is 'Azad' and police cannot hold him captive.
He told PTI that he sneaked into the Jama Masjid around 1:30 pm, wearing a skull cap and wrapping himself in a long shawl to hide his identity.
Azad, whose name means free or independent, said his group was not involved in the violence near Delhi Gate on Friday.
"Policemen dressed as civilians are instigating violence in a bid to scuttle the protests," he alleged.
Asked how he breached the tight security ring outside the Jama Masjid on Friday afternoon, he said, "My name is Chandrashekhar Azad. Police cannot hold me captive. I wore a cap and a shawl and entered the masjid easily."
