Turkman Gate Violence: 11 Arrested Amid Demolition Drive, Social Media Role Under Scrutiny

Delhi Police have arrested 11 individuals in connection with stone-pelting and clashes that occurred during an MCD demolition drive near the Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque in Turkman Gate. The violence erupted after social media posts falsely claimed the mosque was being demolished, leading to a crowd gathering and pelting stones at police, injuring five personnel. Authorities are using drone footage, CCTV, and social media analysis to identify more suspects, including YouTuber Salman, accused of inciting the crowd. The demolition targeted unauthorized encroachments, not the mosque itself.
