After violence erupted in northeast Delhi, Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday said he had spoken to Lt Governor Anil Baijal who assured that more police personnel were being sent to the affected areas.

A Delhi Police head constable was killed and a DCP injured as clashes between pro and anti-CAA groups in northeast Delhi’s Jaffrabad and Maujpur areas broke out again, with protesters torching houses, shops and vehicles, and hurling stones at each other.

Taking to Twitter, the Chief Minister said violence by anyone would not be tolerated.

“I just spoke to the LG. He has assured that more police forces are being sent. Violence will not be tolerated by anyone. I request people to maintain peace. No solution will come out of violence,” Kejriwal tweeted in Hindi.

In another tweet, he said, “The death of a head constable is very sad. He was also one of us. Please give up violence. Nobody benefits from violence. All problems will be solved peacefully.”
