The Delhi government on Monday ordered a magisterial inquiry into last night's clash between locals and police in an east Delhi locality in which one person was killed.
One person has died after the police opened fire in the air to control a mob in New Delhi's Mayur Vihar on Sunday night. A mob set afire a police booth and a bus and clashed with police in an East Delhi locality on Sunday night after a rumour spread that a "drunk" man died after falling from his two-wheeler during a vehicle checking.

Five children were killed and another was critically injured in east Delhi when a wall collapsed on Wednesday morning, fire brigade officials said.
Clashes erupted on Sunday night between locals and police in East Delhi -- with a mob torching a police booth and over half a dozen vehicles -- following the "rumour" of the death of a man who reportedly fell off his scooter at a police picket. The rioting took place in Mayur Vihar Phase-III at around 7.30 pm. Police lobbed tear gas shells and used force to disperse the crowd. Some locals and policemen suffered injuries in the clash.
The men belong to the 31st battalion of the paramilitary, based in Mayur Vihar Phase-III area of the national capital, that has been entirely sealed after the huge numbers of the COVID-19 infection started building up over the last few days.
