The Delhi Police has strongly denied rumours of violence and disturbance from parts of the west and north Delhi, as it urged people to not pay attention to rumours. Joint Commissioner of Police Shalini Singh is on the ground inspecting the situation in Khyala.
The Delhi Police said in a statement that there has been a concerted effort by "mischievous elements" to create panic in Delhi by false rumours of rioting. "No such incident has taken place. Action will be taken against such elements," Delhi Police has said.
In a series of tweets, Delhi Police appealed to the people of the district to not believe in rumours.
