He also praised Delhi Police for acting in a swift manner to control the situation when rumours were spread on Sunday night.
“Delhi Police acted in a swift manner to control the situation when rumours were spread on Sunday night. Had the police acted with the same efficiency on Monday and Tuesday last week when riots were confined in a district, so many lives could have been saved,” he added.
