Ten dead in Delhi citizenship riots amidst Trump’s maiden India visit

At least 10 persons, including a policeman, have reportedly died in Delhi as long-simmering tensions over a deeply divisive citizenship law burst into full-blown riots since yesterday (Feb. 24). A large number of people have been protesting against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), largely viewed as biased against India’s Muslim community, ever since it was passed by parliament in December. Delhi has seen some of the most intense of these demonstrations.
