Earlier in the day, Arvind Kejriwal visited Mahatma Gandhi's memorial in Rajghat and said violence will not benefit anyone as he called for the restoration of peace in the national capital in the wake of violence in northeast Delhi, which claimed seven lives.

Kejriwal visited Rajghat along with his MLAs.

"Six civilians and one policeman have died. Violence will not benefit anyone. Mahatma Gandhi was a worshiper of non-violence, we prayed for the restoration of peace in Delhi," he said after the visit.

He is expected to meet the family of the deceased head constable Ratan Lal in Burari.

Thick smoke billowed in the air and mobs roamed unchecked through the streets, pelting stones, vandalising shops and threatening locals, as fresh violence broke out in northeast Delhi on Tuesday, a day after seven people were killed in communal clashes over the amended citizenship law.

As tension smouldered in the city's northeast, rioters damaged two fire tenders in Gokulpuri and crowds raising incendiary slogans set on fire a bike in the epicentre of the trouble Maujpur.

Streets in many parts of the area were littered with stones, bricks and burnt tyres, mute testimony to the spiralling violence and bloodshed that took on a communal taint on Monday and injured about 150 people, including 48 police personnel.

With violence continuing unabated, Union Home Minister Amit Shah convened a meeting with Delhi Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, Delhi Police chief Amulya Patnaik and others to address the situation.

The meeting resolved that workers of political parties should join hands to restore peace and peace committees should be reactivated in all localities.
