After violence during anti-CAA protests, security beefed up in UP for Friday prayers; notice to 372 for damaging public assets

Firstpost  

A home department spokesperson in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday put the death toll at 19 in the violence, which left 288 policemen injured. “Police investigation has revealed that violence during the protests against CAA on two consecutive days on Friday and Saturday in Kanpur was happened in an organised manner,” Senior Superintendent of Police Anand Deo Tiwari said. “Preliminary probe suggested the involvement of people including Bangladeshis and Kashmiris,” he said, adding there was “ample evidence” to strongly indicate their involvement. Alleging the BJP government was “afraid” of Hindu-Muslim unity, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav sought to know when a probe into “police brutality” on protesters in the state will be ordered. An Uttar Pradesh minister on a visit to Bijnor refused to meet the families of the two Muslim men who died in the recent protests against the new citizenship law, terming them “upadravi”.
