The Delhi Police said on Friday it has registered over 600 cases in connection with last week’s riots in northeast Delhi, officials said.

Out of 683 cases registered, 48 were related to the Arms Act, it said in a statement.

In total, 1,983 people have been either detained or arrested so far in connection with the communal violence, the police said.

Total 251 meetings with Aman Committee have been conducted across the national capital, a senior police officer said.

The communal violence that was sparked over protests against the amended Citizenship Act killed at least 44 people dead and left over 200 wounded. PTI

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
