A Delhi Police head constable was killed today and a senior officer injured after clashes erupted between anti-CAA protesters and those supporting the citizenship law in Delhi’s Gokulpuri. The situation in northeast Delhi’s Maujpur, Jaffarabad and surrounding areas also went out of control. The police have imposed Section 144 at 10 locations in the area.

Constable Ratan Lal was posted at the ACP Gokalpuri office in Delhi. He was hit by a stone. DCP Amit Sharma, who was injured during the clashes, has been hospitalised.

In videos of today’s violence, a man can be seen running towards an unarmed officer waving what appears to be a gun and firing in the air. In another video, people can be seen throwing stones at each other.

Sources at the Ministry of Home Affairs suggest that the violence was orchestrated most likely in the wake of US President Donald Trump’s visit to India. After visiting Ahmedabad and Agra, the Trumps, on a two-day visit, will arrive in Delhi by 7.30 this evening.

Delhi police commissioner Amulya Patnaik, who is present in the control room, is closely monitoring the situation, sources said.

Senior officials are on ground and sufficient forces have been deployed. The situation in Delhi is under control, Union Home Secy Ajay Bhalla said.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has also urged the Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal and Home Minister Amit Shah to restore law and order and ensure peace in the city.

“I just spoke to the LG. He has assured that more police forces are being sent. Violence will not be tolerated by anyone. I request people to maintain peace. No solution will come out of violence,” Kejriwal said.

In an earlier tweet, Kejriwal said that nobody should be allowed to orchestrate flagrations.

The LG, too, has instructed the police to maintain the law and order in the national capital.

“We have spoken to both sides, now the situation is calm. We are continuously speaking to people, now the situation is under control,” said Ved Prakash Surya DCP (North-East).

Hundreds of protesters had gathered under the Jaffarabad Metro station on Saturday for a peaceful anti-CAA protest. The next morning was also peaceful till BJP leader Kapil Mishra, who has a history of making communal and incendiary comments, held a pro-CAA rally in the area. At the rally, he gave an “ultimatum” to the Delhi police to clear the roads in the area or else, he said, they would have to hit the streets.

“If it doesn’t happen then don’t come to us to make us understand. We will not listen to you. We will be peaceful till US President Donald Trump is here. After that, we won’t listen to even you if the roads are not cleared,” Mishra said.

Mishra had asked people on Twitter to gather at Maujpur at 3 pm on Sunday “to give an answer to Jaffrabad”.

In another tweet, the former AAP leader threatened that “there won’t be another Shaheen Bagh”.

Several people were injured in clashes that followed in Maujpur. Protesters torched at least two houses, a police bus and a fire engine in Jaffrabad and Maujpur.

A group of lawyers have filed a police complaint against Mishra for his provoking and inciteful tweets and remarks he made at the protest site.

As violence spiralled on the second day, the police have appealed for peace.

“It is appealed to the people of Delhi and particularly to the North East District to maintain peace and harmony and not to believe in any false rumours. It is also appealed to the media not to circulate any disturbing pictures which may further aggravate the situation. Delhi Police is making every effort to restore normalcy,” the police said.

Entry and exit gates of Jaffrabad, Maujpur-Babarpur, Gokulpuri, Johri Enclave and Shiv Vihar Metro stations are closed. Trains will terminate at the Welcome metro station.

Delhi Chief Minister’s wife Sunita Kejriwal and AAP minister Atishi met Arvind Kejriwal in the Tihar Jail today. After their meeting, both dicussed the specifics of their meeting with CM. They said that the jailed CM was asking about the Delhi governance matter.

Kejriwal is expected to see Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwan Mann tomorrow.

Atishi, who is in charge of six departments in the Delhi Cabinet, said, she visited with the Chief Minister. When she asked how he was doing, he skipped answering her, rather he asked how the work is going in Delhi. He said, not to ask about his condition. During their meet, the Delhhi CM also asked about the school kids that are they getting books? Does Mohalla Clinic have access to medications? Atishi continued.

The Chief Minister said that as summer is approaching, Delhi shouldn’t have any water-related issues. He sent a message to the women of Delhi, saying he is planning to give them Rs 1000.

The Aam Aadmi Party had earlier claimed that Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal, was not allowed to see him. However, in a statement, Delhi minister Atishi said that Sunita Kejriwal will see her husband later on in the day and that two people were granted permission, but Sunita ji’s was cancelled. Athishi said, every day, new laws are enacted, she did not have permission, but when their lawyers won this legal battle, she was permitted to see Kejriwal.

AAP’s campaign for the Lok Sabha in the national capital and other states will be led by Mrs. Kejriwal, the party said. The campaign kicked off with a roadshow to support AAP’s candidate for East Delhi, Kuldeep Kumar. This is the first time that Mrs. Kejriwal has entered the political sphere actively.

Party leader Sanjay Singh asserted last week that Atishi’s name was added to the list of visitors for Mr. Kejriwal following the name of Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bharadwaj.

Meanwhile, in the Delhi Liquor Policy case, Arvind Kejriwal was taken into custody in March. On March 21, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) detained him in connection with a money laundering case. In the same case, Manish Sisodia, his former deputy, is jailed.

A First Information Report (FIR) has been filed by Punjab Police against a YouTube channel for allegedly linking Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Raghav Chadha to wanted man Vijay Mallya.

The AAP candidate for the Ludhiana Lok Sabha constituency, Ashok Pappi Prashar’s son, Vikas Prashar, filed a formal complaint against the YouTube station Capital TV. The complainant held the channel accountable for airing misleading and defamatory content.

The statements/contents of false videos on Capital TV channel and others shall harm the public peace and harmony…and is likely to promote enmity between different groups in the country on grounds of religion, caste, race and community, the complaint said.

In his complaint, Vikas allegedly claimed that the YouTube channel was disseminating misleading information and that it was defaming Raghav Chadha by equating him with Mallya.

Vijay Mallya fled to the UK after taking public money, and similarly, a Rajya Sabha member left for England, claiming it was for eye treatment, according to the FIR, which noted claims made by the YouTube channel.

The AAP leader will reportedly get a vitrectomy in the UK to save the retina from detaching from the eye earlier. According to the research, this disorder, which is characterized by the formation of tiny holes in the retina, is very dangerous for vision and must be treated immediately to prevent irreversible damage.

The channel referred to Chadha as a Khalistani supporter following his encounter with UK MP Preet Gill, according to the complaint.

Section 153A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) deals with inciting religious hatred among various groups, Section 469 deals with forgeries, and Section 505 deals with making statements that could incite public disturbances.

The FIR also contains Section 66 of the Information Technology Act, which addresses offenses involving computers.
