Overview

  • Municipal teams demolished an alleged illegal e‑rickshaw charging station said to be on corporation land and posted sealing notices at the Humsafar Palace resort linked to associates of Maulana Tauqeer Raza Khan.
  • Police reported 62 arrests to date, including Tauqeer Raza, Dr. Nafees and Nadeem, after earlier FIRs named 180 and listed about 2,500 as unknown.
  • Heavy deployment, including Rapid Response Force personnel, fire tenders and drone surveillance, accompanied the actions as authorities moved to secure sites.
  • The Home Department’s suspension of SMS, mobile internet and broadband has stalled ATMs, digital payments and medicine supply, with Ayushman Bharat treatments reported disrupted and traders citing major losses.
  • A widely shared injury photo was debunked by fact-checkers, who traced it to a 2023 Uttarkashi assault case unrelated to the current Bareilly unrest.
