  • This was the second day clashes broke out. On Sunday evening, there was stone pelting in Jaffrabad soon after Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra gave the police a three-day ultimatum to stop an anti-CAA protest that began on Saturday night. Mishra said he would not listen even to the police after three days.

In a widely-circulated video, a man brandishing a gun walked up to a Delhi Police officer and fired a few rounds in the air. A petrol pump was set ablaze in Bhajanpura area.
