The sticks were similar to those used to damage the Indian Consulate in San Francisco. Protesters hurled abuse and threatened the Indian ambassador to the US, while some incited violence and tried to damage embassy property. Secret Service personnel intervened to prevent any incidents. The organisers of the protest were hostile towards Jha, obstructing him and threatening him.
