A pre-dawn demolition drive by Delhi's Municipal Corporation on January 7, 2026, near the historic Faiz-e-Ilahi Mosque in Turkman Gate sparked clashes, with stone pelters injuring five officers. Police used minimal force including tear gas to restore order, while officials confirmed the mosque remained untouched amid a court-ordered clearance of encroachments.
Two people, including a police constable, were injured when stones were thrown at a procession marking Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's birth anniversary in Bagalkot on Thursday. The incident occurred near a mosque, briefly escalating tensions before police restored order. Authorities have imposed restrictions and booked suspects under relevant laws.
