Delhi has been left reeling after February’s violence. Mobs swept through Muslim-majority parts of the capital killing dozens and injuring hundreds, with vehicles and property destroyed.

Protests erupted in Delhi over the Indian government’s new citizenship amendment law, which many Muslims say is discriminatory.

It has divided protestors along religious lines with both sides blaming each other for starting the violence.

Richard Galpin reports from Delhi on what the violence means for the country and how Narendra Modi’s government is responding.
