Appealing for the higher security for the women protesting in Shaheen Bagh, advocate Mehmood Pracha representing Bhim Army chief Chandrashekhar  Azad in the Shaheen Bagh issue, has filed an affidavit on Tuesday in the Supreme Court mentioning the ongoing violence in North-East Delhi. Slamming BJP leader Kapil Mishra's incendiary remarks ahead of the Maujpur stone-pelting on Sunday, the affidavit also claims that anti-social elements from UP entered Delhi and vandalised public property. The two-judge SC bench comprising of Justices SK Kaul and KM Joseph will take up the matter on Wednesday.

The affidavit mentions that while the Shaheen Bagh matter was listed in the SC on Monday, BJP's Kapil Mishra had carried out a pro-CAA rally in Maujpur - 2 km away from Jaffrabad.
