In February 2020, Nasreen and her husband Tofik were living in Shiv Vihar, an upcoming neighbourhood in northeast New Delhi. I feel safer among Muslims," Tofik, who like his wife goes by one name, told Reuters. Details about this phenomenon, which has led a major Muslim neighbourhood in Delhi to effectively run out of space, have not previously been reported. A 2020 Delhi government report blamed the riots on BJP leaders who made speeches that called for violence against protesters. Nasreen's neighbour Malika also moved to the outskirts after her husband was killed in the 2020 riots.
