The JIH has alleged that the Delhi police did not taken action against the rioters.

"We have credible reports of clashes between pro and anti-CAA protesters in the Maujpur area in which the Delhi Police was just a mute spectator. The protesters were pelting stones and provoking others," said Salim Engineer, Vice President of the Jamaat.

"Delhi Police brutally did a lathi-charge on the anti-CAA protesters who were taking out a peaceful march in Hauz Rani last night," said the statement

The JIH said that many women and girls have been seriously injured in the lathi-charge and were admitted in hospitals.

It also condemned the ultimatum given by BJP leader Kapil Mishra to the police, in which Mishra said: "Remove the anti-CAA protesters from Chand Bagh and Jaffrabad within three days".

The JIH alleged that the ultimatum is an open provocation to violence.
