Indian security officials look on as an activist throws a stone in Hisar some 175kms north of New Delhi on November 18, 2014, during a confrontation between supporters of controversial guru Rampal Maharaj and security forces. Hundreds of armed supporters of a controversial guru clashed with baton-wielding police who tried to storm his fortified ashram and arrest him in northern India, officers said. Police fired tear gas and water cannon at devotees of the self-styled « godman » who have spent days guarding the sprawling compound outside Hisar city, some 175 kilometres (108 miles) north of the capital.
