Stone-throwing between rival groups, arson and vandalism on Tuesday marked unrelenting violence over citizenship law protests for more than 24 hours in northeast Delhi. The clashes, the worst in the capital since unrest over a new citizenship law began in December, started at the weekend but turned deadly on Monday, Reuters reports. Late Tuesday night, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval visited areas affected by the violence and met with top police officers. Doval visited areas such as Seelampur, Jaffrabad, Maujpur and Gokulpuri Chowk to take stock of the law and order situation. The hearing by a two-judge bench of the Delhi High Court took place at the residence of Justice S Murlidhar.
