On February 23, BJP leader Kapil Mishra made a provocative speech targetting protesters against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Since then, north-east Delhi has witnessed widespread communal riots which have so far taken the lives of at least 10 persons, including a cop. Amidst the violence, a 28-second video has gone viral where one can see a bus driver being attacked by a mob. One of the attackers, sporting a skull cap, is attacking the driver with a wooden log.<\/p>\n

Twitter user @sharmaAvl posted the viral video and tweeted<\/a> (archive link<\/a>), “This is the horror being played on the streets of Delhi right now. Did you see the skull cap? They have turned this country into Syria, where Hindus are shit scared. My relatives living in Maujpur haven’t stepped out of their home since 3 days.” So far, the video has garnered over 1 lakh views.<\/p>\n
