The Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice NV Ramana ordered the authorities to maintain the status-quo on the demolition drive and not to continue with the demolition started by the North Delhi Municipal Corporation against encroachers in Jahangirpuri.
Just before the anti-encroachment drive began, the Delhi police and hundreds of security personnel in riot gear had conducted a surveillance of the area earlier in the morning.
Maulana Wasim Mobalik, alias Pathan was seen standing atop the Hubballi police commissioner's car outside Old Hubballi police station, making provocative speeches.
5 members of the same Hindu family, including a juvenile, were detained following the rioting in Delhi's Jahangirpuri where a Muslim mob attacked a Hindu procession.
Jahangirpuri resident told OpIndia that incidents like rape and loot against Hindus are common in the area and the police is scared of the Bangladeshi miscreants in the area.
Sonu was caught on camera firing bullets at people during the Jahangirpuri violence. The mother of the accused has claimed he has been absconding due to fear.
