The All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat (AIMMM) on Thursday, 19 April, wrote to Delhi Police Commissioner Amulya Patnaik seeking appropriate action against BJP youth wing leader Manish Chandela, after he allegedly admitted to burning down a Rohingya refugee camp in New Delhi earlier this month.
The AIMMM also attached the screenshots of Chandela's tweets wherein he claimed to have set the Rohingya refugee camp in Kalindi Kunj ablaze. Chandela had tweeted at 2.16 am on April 15.
Senior Supreme Court advocate Prashant Bhushan also took to Twitter to highlight the laxity on the part of the Delhi Police and the Central government.
A fire had broken out at the refugee camp near Kalindi Kunj in south Delhi on the intervening night of 14 April and 15 April that quickly engulfed the entire camp. More than 200 residents lost all their belongings, including identity cards and special visas issued by the United Nations.
