Delhi Riots Today Highlights: A week after the national capital witnessed riots that left 47 people dead, the Delhi police has filed 436 FIRs and arrested or detained over 1,427 people, PTI reported. Slamming the Centre for lack of action, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee Tuesday alleged that even now, as bodies are being recovered, the central government chooses to still remain quiet. “Why so many people were killed in Delhi? Remember, this is Bengal. What happens in Delhi, does not happen in Bengal,” Banerjee asserted.

Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia addressed a press conference after reviewing relief measures in northeast Delhi. “At least 427 shops were torched. I appeal to the shop owners to file FIR in order to ensure compensation reaches them and over 420 people have been injured until now,” Sisodia announced. A Delhi Assembly panel issued a Whatsapp number and an email id to complain about hate messages relating to violence being circulated on social media.

A 23-year-old identified as Shahrukh Khan, who was seen in photos and videos allegedly firing eight rounds in Maujpur during the riots was arrested from Shamli in Uttar Pradesh, earlier today, by a team of the narcotics unit of the crime branch.

In other news, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal met Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Parliament House this morning, where the two discussed the situation among other things.
