Violence erupted near Delhi's Turkman Gate during a midnight demolition drive to remove encroachments near the Faiz-e-Elahi Mosque. Following a social media claim that the mosque was being demolished, a crowd gathered, allegedly pelting stones at police and civic officials, injuring five personnel. Authorities stated the demolition targeted illegal structures on public land as per court orders, not the mosque itself. Five individuals were initially arrested, with subsequent arrests bringing the total to 11. Investigations are ongoing, utilizing CCTV and bodycam footage to identify more individuals involved.
