The Delhi Development Authority along with the Delhi police on October 21 reportedly demolished 25 houses in a Muslim locality.
It is to be noted that the residents had gone to offer Friday prayers at the time of the incident that occurred in the Kharak Riwara Satbari area. On October 27 a few activists visited the area and alleged that the DDA had demolished their homes.
One of the activists gauging the situation stated that a few women faced police brutality during the incident. They added that the police claimed that the land belongs to a private dealer. “No survey has been conducted so far. No process was followed,” an activist, Anupradha was quoted as saying by Maktoob Media.
The police officials reportedly told the residents that they would face the wrath of the authorities, akin to that faced by Muslims in Uttar Pradesh. It is to be noted that Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MLA, Kartar Singh also did not intervene on behalf of the residents.
