Delhi Police had warned of violent anti-CAA protests during US President Donald Trump's visit to India

Ahead of the visit of US President Donald Trump, the Delhi Police had issued an alert based on intelligence reports that the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) protests could increase and turn violent during his stay in India.

According to the police, the incidents of violence that took place in the national capital on February 23 (Sunday) was a pre-planned conspiracy. The police added that these incidents are being instigated by the same forces that are active in Shaheen Bagh.

The police further added that these forces don't want to resolve the matter in a sensitive way and want the deadlock to continue. These demonstrators want that there should be so much chaos during Trump's visit that the matter reaches the international level, asserted the police.
