Thousands of riot police and paramilitaries patrolled the affected northeast fringes of the Indian capital of 20 million people, preventing any major eruptions. The unrest is the latest bout of violence over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's citizenship law, which triggered months of demonstrations that turned deadly in December. Sunil Kumar, director of the Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, said Thursday the hospital registered 30 deaths while the chief doctor at Lok Nayak Hospital said that two people had died there. "All of them (at the GTB) had gunshot injuries," Kumar told AFP.

Homes, shops, two mosques, two schools, a tyre market and a fuel station were torched. More than 200 people were also injured. Photo.
