All that went down in old Delhi during demolition drive
MCD's pre-dawn demolition drive in Old Delhi near Faiz-e-Ilahi mosque turned violent on Wednesday. Tension flared in Old Delhi after a group of miscreants attempted to break police barricades put up during the drive. Several protesters even resorted to stone pelting during a demolition drive near Turkman Gate.
Delhi Police said the situation arose when MCD teams began removing encroachments close to a mosque in Old Delhi.
To control the escalating situation, police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. MCD officials clarified that the mosque structure itself was not touched.
