New Delhi: Two unidentified bike-borne men allegedly fired in the air near an anti-CAA protest site in northeast Delhi's Jafrabad, eyewitnesses said on Friday. No one was injured in the incident, which the police said appeared to be a case of personal enmity and not related to the anti-CAA protests.

"The firing was not in connection with the anti-CAA protests. We suspect it to be a case of some personal enmity," a police official said. However, some of the protesters alleged that it was a repeat of intimidatory tactics like the one at Jamia Millia Islamia and Shaheen Bagh. They said with every incident, the accused are changing their modus operandi. The Jafrabad police have registered a case. The incident took place barely 400 metres away from the site where people have been protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act since last month. Nihal Ashraf, a protester, said, "The armed men fired three rounds in the air and fled the spot. They were on a scooter without a number plate". The people resumed their protests after a while.
