CAA stir: 1 dead, 3 hurt in 'firing' in Lucknow

December 19, 2019 20:43

One person died, three suffered injuries during firing in Lucknow today as police struggled to contain the fallout of the amended citizenship law.

A source said that it is yet not cleared whether the injury was caused due to police firing or stray firing.

At Lucknow's Parivartan Chowk, close to the district magistrate's office, police faced brickbats. The gates of the nearby KD Singh metro station were shut to prevent more protesters from gathering at Parivartan Chowk.

Meanwhile, no untoward incident was reported during the anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests in the national capital on Thursday, the Delhi Police said.

Besides police personnel, 52 companies of other forces, including the Rapid Action Force, were deployed to maintain law and order, Delhi Police Public Relation Officer Mandeep Singh Randhawa said.
