The Fact Finding Team came back from North-East Delhi after intense field study of
the situation. The findings are as follows: (Please click here to read full Report)
Riots in North East Delhi were a planned conspiracy: The Delhi riots 2020 were pre-planned. There are evidences of a ‘Left-Jihadi model of revolution’ that has been executed in Delhi and is sought to be replicated at other places.
There is evidence of a Urban Naxal- Jihadi network that planned and executed the riots: The Delhi riots are not genocide or a pogrom targeted at any community. They are a tragic outcome of a planned and systematic radicalization of the minorities by a far left-Urban Naxal network operating in universities in Delhi. Both communities have suffered greatly as a consequence. The presence of Jihadi organizations like Popular Front of India (PFI) at dharna sites has been observed.
Radicalization of Muslims over a long period led to the riots: Around 15 December 2020 and two weeks after that, protest sites were established in all major areas with concentration of Muslim population.
Riots originated in Anti CAA Protest sites: Women sitting on dharna since 15 December, 2019 came on roads, blocked metros and thereafter mobs pelting stones led to riots. (This also happened in areas as far as Malviya Nagar.) After blocking roads the protesters got into confrontation with the Police. The situation turned violent and communal in such areas. Rioting continued in the area from 24 February till 26 February 2020.
Women used as a shield in all protest sites: In all dharna sites women were kept at the forefront and men operated from behind this shield.
Anxiety and fear among the locals: Most protest sites relayed a constant stream of high decibel sloganeering continuously for the past 8 weeks leading to anxiety and fear amongst the local population.
Protest marches on streets, roads, markets etc. at odd times leading to chaos: Most of the protest sites are in public spaces; under metro stations, in public parks. Anti-CAA protesters moved into key market areas, roads, metro stations at night or early mornings repeatedly, leading to chaos in the local population.
The Shaheen Bagh Model: The content of most of these protests was a mixture of Left-wing Jihadi and anti-CAA, NRC, NPR activism. Slogans had a content of anti-Amit Shah, anti-Modi, anti-Fascist rhetoric. Most of these sites still have ‘revolution’ slogans painted on the walls. Azadi, Anti-government rhetoric, dangers of fascism slogans are raised on public address systems and painted at protest sites. Songs from the Italian folk tradition like Bella-Ciao are sung daily.
This is the ‘Shaheen Bagh Model’.Anti Hindu, Anti India, Anti Police and Anti-Government nature of protest: It is observed that the slogans and posters at Shaheen Bagh had a deliberate provocative, anti-Hindu content. Images of the holy Swastik, Om were depicted in a derogatory manner. Ma Kaali, the Hindu goddess and women wearing bindis were shown in burkhas. While on the one hand Islamic slogans were raised repeatedly, locals also reported ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ slogans being raised. All this was being done with the Constitution and the Indian National Flag in the backdrops.
Jihadi mobs indulged in targeted killings, looting and vandalizing shops: On 24 February 2020 violence spread to Bhajanpura, Shiv vihar, Gokulpuri, Brijpuri, Brahmpuri and the surrounding areas. There was wide-spread evidence of mobs of violent women and men attacking the Delhi Police, important public sites like petrol pumps, high value properties belonging to Hindus.
Riot weapons were stockpiled over a period of time: There are evidences of use of high rise buildings in the areas as sites for launching petrol bombs, Molotov cocktails; huge sized catapults capable of launching bricks have also been found.
Many bullet casualties on 24 February are a result of precision shooting of the kind that can only be done by sniper style sharpshooters i.e. trained shooters.
Links across the border: ISIS type of brutal killings point towards links across the border. Intelligence Bureau (IB) official, Ankit Sharma’s post mortem indicates that he was stabbed over 400 times before and after his death. Dilber Negi. A 23 years old worker in sweet shop in Shiv vihar was brutally killed. First, report his hands were amputated and thereafter he was burnt alive.
Exemplary role of local Hindu and Muslim community leaders: Delhi Police and Hindu and Muslim community leaders worked together to contain this extremely dangerous situation. While outsiders instigated violence, local community leaders from Muslim and Hindu communities have worked on ground to establish peace. We met a number of such persons.
Violence against women: Women reported that they were harassed and faced extreme danger during the riots. We met school principals in Yamuna Vihar who reported that the girl students under their care were in a very insecure position. It was impossible in the circumstances to hand over the students to caregivers. Young school girls were stranded in school campuses for a long time. The rioters took advantage of this situation and molested the young girls on their way back home. It is alleged that the underclothes of a young woman were recovered from the house of Tahir Hussain, ex-AAP Counciller in the area. The dead body of a female was allegedly recovered from the nallah at Khajuri Khas. (Please click here to read full Report)
Recommendations
- NIA Inquiry into Delhi Riots 2020: We strongly recommend that given the
intensity of the violence, the investigation into the riots should be handed over to
the NIA. All incidents in Delhi from 15 December 2019 should be investigated. - Foreign funds and support for the violence in Delhi should be investigated by
the NIA: The planning and execution of the Delhi riots from Dharna to Danga
indicates the involvement of foreign agencies and funds. This should be
investigated by the NIA. - Rehabilitation for all victims: In light of the extreme violence suffered by the
most marginal sections of society in North-East Delhi we suggest that
rehabilitation work should be done expeditiously. - Central Government should initiate confidence building measures: We
4
suggest that the Central Government initiates confidence building measures
amongst both communities utilizing the goodwill of prominent community
members. There is still simmering anger and dangerous perceptions on ground
that needs to be calmed. - Forensic audit of high-rise buildings: We strongly recommend that a forensic
audit of all high buildings in North-East Delhi be carried out by investigating
agencies. - NIA Inquiry into ‘outsider network’: We strongly recommend that Intelligence
and Government agencies should investigate the ‘outsider network’ responsible
for engineering riots in Delhi through an NIA Inquiry. We recommend that the
role of students, teachers, artists, organisations responsible for instilling hate
through dharna/protest marches, social media posts, provocative speeches etc
should be investigated. - Direction to University authorities not to allow their campuses to be used for
hate speeches and political gathering: We request all levels of University
administration i.e. Vice Chancellors of Delhi University, Jamia Milia Islamia,
JNU and all other universities to take an audit of the use of their campuses to
engineer wider disturbances in the city in the past 8 weeks. - Funding of Shaheen Bagh type protest: Boarding, lodging, food, hoardings,
banners, publicity material etc. must be investigated. - Legal and Medical camps should be organized: Legal and Medical facilities
and psychological counseling of victims including children should be arranged. - Sanctity of public spaces to be maintained by all law enforcing agencies:
Police should ensure that roads, streets, parks etc. should not be used for dharna
and protest. Such gatherings should only be allowed at designated spaces.

चले सत्य के साथ खडे रहे, अगर मुझे मेरी जान भी देनी पडे में सत्य के
लिये लढुगा, सत्य का साथ दुगा, असत्य असुरवाद, जो पुरे दुनिया में फैला हे उसे लढुगा,
में हि वो अवतार हु, जो
यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।
अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् ॥
परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् ।
धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे ॥
जो अवतार हे वो दुरसा कोई नही, वो में हु, मेरी हि तो लोग राह देख रहे हे.
में आ गया हु,
सत्यम शिवम सुंदरम
