On Sunday there was an incident of stone pelting between two groups in the the Maujpur area of Delhi. The altercation is believed to be between two civilian groups, one supporting the Citizenship Amendment Act and one against it.

Reportedly, some people have been injured by the stones.

Police fired tear gas shells as members of the two groups pelted stones at each other in Maujpur.

The entry and exit gates of Maujpur-Babarpur metro station have been closed.

Further details awaited.

An anti-CAA protest by around 500 people, mostly women, near the Jaffrabad metro station in northeast Delhi continued on Sunday, prompting the Delhi Metro authorities to close the entry and exit gates of the station.

The protest began on Saturday night, blocking a road which connects Seelampur with Maujpur and Yamuna Vihar. The women, carrying the tricolour and raising slogans of 'aazadi', said they would not move from the site till the Centre revokes the CAA.
