On August 12, Members of Parliament from opposition parties accused marshals of using force against them on Wednesday. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi even accused the government of bringing people from outside who posed as marshals and beat up opposition leaders. However, video feeds from August 11 inside Rajya Sabha show a whole different story. Know The Nation published a chronology of events with videos to show how the opposition MPs created ruckus in the Parliament and unleashed violence against the marshals.
At 6:02 PM, TMC MP Dola Sen places a loop around TMC MP Santa Chaturvedi, and they kept shouting “democracy killed” in the Well of the House.

At 7:04 PM, all the opposition leaders walked out of the Parliament, and the opposition leader gave the point of order. At 7:05 PM, Arpita Ghosh, Mausam Noor and Dola Sen were seen standing on the first benches.
It is evident with the video evidence that the leaders of opposition unruly behaviour led to the ruckus in the Rajya Sabha. The opposition leaders not only disrupted the working of the house but also assaulted Marshals on duty.
