Anti-CAA protests:15 arrested in connection with Delhi's Daryaganj violence

The Delhi Police have taken fifteen people into custody in connection with the violent protests that took place in the Daryaganj area against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act on Friday. They are accused of rioting and disturbing peace. The Delhi Police will likely produce them in Court today. Meanwhile, family members and lawyers of the detained people have reached the police station after getting the information. As per locals, the police are not letting anyone enter the police station for now.

Protests have erupted across the country against the Act, which grants Indian citizenship to refugees from Hindu, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist and Parsi communities fleeing religious persecution from Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Bangladesh, who entered India on or before December 31, 2014.
