Anti-CAA protests in UP: Death toll in Meerut violence rises to 5

India Today  

The death toll in the violence that occurred during protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut two days ago rose to five, a senior police official said on Sunday. The deceased have been identified as Mohsin, Aasif, Zahir, Aalim, all residents of Meerut, and Asif from Delhi, Inspector General Alok Singh said. During the protests on Friday, protesters had torched vehicles and pelted stones at police, who used lathicharge and lobbed tear gas shells to disperse mobs. Uttar Pradesh remains to be on edge as many have been protesting against the contentious CAA, that aims to provide Indian citizenship to non-Muslim immigrants who faced religious persecution in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
