Conspiracy to repeat northeast Delhi riots-like violence was hatched during R-Day mayhem: Police Commissioner

Delhi Police Commissioner SN Shrivastava has said that a conspiracy was being hatched to unleash violence in the national capital after the Republic Day mayhem. He said that the ‘toolkit’ leak on the internet, however, foiled the bid. The top cop said that misinformation was being spread after January 26 to trigger riots similar to northeast Delhi in February 2020. Delhi witnessed communal riots in February last year after clashes between citizenship law supporters and protesters spiralled, leaving at least 53 people dead.
