Who had stoped the Congress and AAP to handle the situation? And AAP also did
not take any platonic stand in this matter.
- If block 20’s qurrel was not organised then how did it reach in other blocks?
- Where were the elected representatives (MPs, MLAs and councelers) ?
- What did Sunil Vaidh say to the violent mob in a short time that took ?
- 27, 15 blocks didn’t indulge in stoning, then where were the actual perpetrators from, and who were they actually?
- Why only Muslim’s shops were burnt, if a Muslims mob was instigated by so-called Masjid announcment?
- Why did police release the miscreant who started all this by creating a fight in Block 20? Who was behind this release?
- Who is Joint Commissioner Rathore, who spoke to Gaurav Talwar’s brother?
- What was police doing during the continued arson and why did the fire brigade vehicles reach after two hours?
- Why did the police not register FIRs regarding the burnt shops?
