The Delhi Police today morning (24 March) cleared the Shaheen Bagh protest venue after the anti-CAA agitators encroached a public road 101 days ago. At least nine people were taken into custody by the cops.
This action by the Delhi police came after the Shaheen Bagh protesters turned down repeated appeals to vacate the site.
