A pre-dawn anti-encroachment demolition drive near Delhi's Faiz-e-Elahi Mosque in Turkman Gate turned violent, with clashes erupting between locals and police. Residents allegedly pelted stones at authorities, leading police to use tear gas. At least five police personnel were injured, and five individuals were detained. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) stated the demolition, targeting illegal structures like a banquet hall and diagnostic center, was conducted following Delhi High Court orders. The mosque itself remained undamaged.
