Violence in Northeast Delhi
In a massive escalation of tensions in northeast Delhi on Monday, miscreants resorted to violence, torching at least two houses and a fire tender in the Jafrabad and Maujpur areas. While the Delhi Police head constable Ratan Lal has lost his life, one DCP was injured during clashes in Gokulpuri. As of Tuesday, the number of deaths has reportedly risen around 10 with around 150 injured.
It was on Sunday evening that clashes erupted between pro and anti-CAA groups, with both the groups hurling stones at each other allegedly in presence of Delhi Police. The Police fired tear gas shells and also resorted to lathi-charges to disperse the protesters, though the violence has now progressed well beyond politics over CAA into the realm of pure arson and rioting.
