Delhi Police have arrested 20 individuals in connection with stone-pelting during a court-ordered demolition drive near Faiz-e-Elahi Masjid at Turkman Gate, Delhi. The violence involved around 25-30 people attacking police and civic officials, resulting in injuries to five to six officers. A Delhi court recently rejected bail pleas of five accused, citing the seriousness of allegations and evidence including CCTV footage and provocative messages. Defence counsel claim arrests were premature and accuse police of targeting individuals to set an example. Investigations continue, including examining social media's role in incitement.
