Delhi Violence: Anti-CAA Protest at Khureji Khas Cleared by Police

The sit-in protest at Khureji Khas against Citizenship Amendment Act has been cleared by the Delhi Police. Protesters at the site have tweeted visuals showing police personnel dismantling the tent where the anti-CAA sit-in protest had been ongoing for the last few weeks. One person has been detained by the police.

This comes amid escalating violence in northeast Delhi, which has claimed 20 lives so far.
