As Delhi continued to burn on the fourth day, two activists told mid-day on Wednesday that outsiders brought by BJP leader Kapil Mishra wreaked havoc in North East district, while the locals, irrespective of their religion, looked out for each other. Twenty-five people have been killed and close to 200 injured in the past three days.

Shobha, a 49-year-old resident of Ghonda in North East Delhi, told mid-day over the phone that she visited the riot-hit Jaffrabad and Maujpur areas where Hindu-Muslim camaraderie was on display.
