The death toll in the Delhi clashes has risen to 17 on Wednesday.

The violence, which started on Sunday after anti-Citizenship Amendment Act protests blocked a road outside Jaffrabad Metro station and Bharatiya Janata Party leader Kapil Mishra called a gathering in favour of CAA, intensified on Tuesday, despite shored up security in the city in view of United States President Donald Trump's visit.

In view of the violence, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval visited northeast Delhi early on Wednesday morning. Ajit Doval visited several violence-hit parts of northeast Delhi such as Seelampur, Bhajanpura, Yamuna Vihar and Maujpur. He was accompanied the Deputy Commissioner of Police.
