What was the reason behind the Clash at Jantar Mantar?

Somnath Bharti, an Aam Aadmi Party legislator, arrived at Jantar Mantar carrying folding beds for the wrestlers, which sparked the fight. When the police didn’t allow the wrestlers from carrying the bed as per the Supreme Court’s order, the wrestlers created a ruckus, leading to the wrestlers and police fighting at the same time. The female wrestlers claim that the police officers mistreated them. A drunken police officer was captured by wrestlers. Somnath Bharti, who brought the bed, was detained by the police.
