Two more succumb to bullet injuries in U.P.

The Hindu  

Two more persons, who were injured in firing during protests on Friday against the Citizenship Act in Meerut, died on Sunday. Internet services remained suspended in large parts of the State, with the police claiming that 108 persons had been arrested for “objectionable posts, rumours and messages” on social media. This comes after a statement by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath that the government would “take revenge” on those involved in the violence, in which over two dozen vehicles were torched, and seize and auction their property for compensation. Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra visited Bijnor, where two protesters were killed in violence last week. A Trinamool Congress delegation, which was to have met the families of those killed, was “detained” at the Lucknow airport on Sunday afternoon, party sources said.
