The Delhi Police on Wednesday dispersed the crowd that had assembled outside Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s residence around midnight to protest against the violence in the northeastern part of the city since Sunday, reported IANS. At least 18 people have been killed and hundreds injured over the last three days after clashes between those opposing and supporting the Citizenship Amendment Act escalated with several attacks on Muslim homes.
The crowd, which gathered outside Kejriwal’s residence, comprised of members of the Alumni Association of Jamia Millia Islamia and the Jamia Coordination Committee. Students of Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University were also part of the protest.
On Tuesday night, the protestors had surrounded the chief minister’s residence, and demanded to meet him and submit a set of demands associated with the violence. “Activate all Delhi government services and infrastructure to rescue, facilitate medical facilities and provide shelter to citizens,” the charter of demands to Kejriwal read.
