Delhi Police: In the stone-pelting case at Turkman Gate are stepping up their hunt for YouTuber Salman
Delhi Police: In relation to the violence that broke out during the Municipal Corporation’s demolition campaign near the Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque in the Turkman Gate area, Delhi Police stepped up their hunt for YouTuber Salman on Thursday.
Salman reportedly tried to use social media to disturb the peace, according to police sources. He is charged with encouraging residents to congregate at the location during the demolition campaign.
According to the inquiry, several prominent local figures reportedly used their WhatsApp groups to encourage locals to gather. According to police, their goal was to cause chaos and hinder the administration’s and law enforcement’s ability to carry out the operation.
An anti-encroachment campaign is in progress at Turkman Gate, next to the Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque. The area is kept peaceful as debris is removed from the location. During the procedure, security personnel are used to maintain order.
The violence that broke out during the municipal corporation’s demolition operation near the Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque in the Turkman Gate neighborhood earlier in the day was attributed to 30 individuals, according to Delhi Police. CCTV footage, police body-worn camera records, and a number of locally popular videos were used to make the identification.
Samajwadi Party MP Mohibbullah Nadvi may shortly get a summons to participate in the probe, according to police authorities, as he was reportedly present at the scene prior to the incident.
Delhi Police said that despite top authorities’ requests for the MP to avoid the nearby area, he remained close to it before to the event.
Five persons have been taken into custody by Delhi Police thus far in relation to the stone-pelting incident that occurred during the demolition campaign close to the mosque. To apprehend the identified persons, a number of police teams have been established, and raids are being carried out.
Even as the police attempted to clarify that the demolition drive was restricted to illegal constructions and the release of illegally occupied government land, the locals’ provocative slogans and the barricading of the encroached land were recorded in the copy of the FIR that IANS was able to access.
The FIR states that when the police began barricading the area at 12.40 a.m., there was commotion. Police were unable to blockade the area because a group of thirty to thirty-five individuals gathered there and began yelling slogans.
