Heavy clashes with intense stone pelting by more than a thousand protesters has gone for more than an hour in Seelampur #Delhi #DelhiProtest #CABProtest
It took nearly hours for the police to bring the situation under control in #Seelampur this evening, after more than 60 tear gas shells were fired and several rounds of baton charges.
A police official said that shots were also fired in the air to control the violent mob.
Mohammad Daud, an imam who helped calm the confrontation, said it began as a protest against #CAA2019.
“We should protest against it, and we will protest against it. Neither is this a fight against the police, or a Hindu-Muslim issue. We only have a problem with the govt.”
Cars were damaged and a wide road strewn with rocks while two motorbikes were set on fire, sending thick smoke into the air.
Groups of youths, some with their faces covered, threw bricks, stones and bottles at police, who retaliated with tear gas and baton charges. #Seelampur
