India protest violence leaves thousands displaced

More than 1,700 families flee northeast Delhi neighbourhood after homes and shops torched.

In India‘s capital, thousands of people have been displaced after the recent rioting over a controversial citizenship law that critics say discriminates against Muslims.

More than 50 people have died in the fighting between Muslims, opposed to the law, and Hindus.

Many of their homes and businesses have been torched.
