As of now, the Delhi Police have arrested over 20 people in connection with the Jahangirpuri violence, including Ansar. A cop told ANI, “We are grilling Ansar. He was held among others. We are checking his call details record. As of now, he is the prime suspect.”

According to the police, Ansar and his aides have been accused of disturbing a Hanuman Jayanti procession. They have been accused of provoking people to stop the rally and inciting them to pelt stones at the gathering.

The clashes in Jahangirpuri broke out between the two groups of people when the Shobha Yatra procession was passing through the road just next to Kusal Cinema Hall, on the opposite side of which is a mosque. Some videos show people wielding swords and chanting religious slogans just before the clashes broke out.

Not just in Delhi, but communal violence has been reported in several other states including Uttarakhand, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh on the occasion of Hanuman Jayanti. Before this, clashes had broken out in Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal during Ram Navami processions.
