I remember taking a few shots of the protest, and then deciding to leave. But soon I noticed smoke billowing from a vehicle that had been torched, and realising that the mob had turned violent, I ran back towards the maidan. I saw that protesters were burning down OB and police vans.u00a0

I got busy covering the riots. I saw a few men damaging the Amar Jawan memorial, and quickly changed my lens to get a clearer view. While clicking the photographs, I had no idea they would later be used to nab one of the culprits.
