Meanwhile, BJP leader Kapil Mishra tweeted: " See how Constable Ratanlal was killed, surrounded by stones... The same mob tried to assassinate DCP Amit Sharma... Look at these women and see their bestiality... These are the women and men who performed anti-CAA in Chand Bagh"



On February 24, clashes erupted between two groups, people who were in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and others opposing it.

About 92 houses, 57 shops, 500 vehicles, 6 godowns, 2 schools, 4 factories and 4 religious places were burnt down during the riots. The Delhi Chamber of Commerce has projected that the initial loss caused by the violence is nearly Rs 25,000 crore.
