NEW DELHI - Extremist Hindus put Mosque on fire in New Delhi and raise Hindu flag on the mosque.
Extremist Hindu mob set a mosque on fire in Delhi on Tuesday and the Hanuman flag was placed on top of the structure.
Shops within and around the mosque’s compound, including a footwear shop, were being looted.
Locals highlighted that the looters are not residents of the area, which is predominantly Hindu but has few Muslim families. Though there were a few firefighters present at the site, police could not be seen, *The Wire* reported.
At least nine people were killed and about dozens were injured in clashes on Monday in the Indian capital during protests over the controversial Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
The clashes erupted between thousands demonstrating for and against the new anti-Muslim citizenship law. Police used tear gas and smoke grenades but struggled to disperse the stone-throwing crowds.
