Delhi Police Probe Viral Video of Alleged Threats to CR Park Fish Vendors

Vendors assert their market predates the temple as political tensions escalate over accusations of communal targeting.

A viral video shows men in saffron attire allegedly threatening fish vendors near a temple in Delhi's Chittaranjan Park, raising concerns about communal targeting.
Delhi Police are investigating the video's authenticity and timing, noting that it appears to be dated, with no formal complaints filed so far.
Fish vendors emphasize that their market, legally allotted by the Delhi Development Authority, has operated for decades and even contributed to building the temple in question.
TMC MP Mahua Moitra and AAP leader Saurabh Bharadwaj accuse BJP-linked individuals of orchestrating the threats, while BJP leaders deny the allegations, calling the video politically motivated.
Local community leaders and vendors report that such incidents have never occurred before, highlighting the market's integral role in Bengali cultural practices.
