Panic near the Maurya Sheraton in Delhi a day before the US President shifted there

The heaviest security presence can't prevent incidents like these. There was widespread chaos late on Saturday night near the Maurya Sheraton, the 5-star hotel in New Delhi that was to receive Barack Obama and his wife as guests the next evening, after a car went up in flames in the neighbourhood.
