"Congress president has asked the leaders to assess the situation emanating from the mindless violence in riot-affected areas and its after-effects and submit a report to her immediately," an official release signed by party general secretary KC Venugopal read.

 

At least 42 people, including a police head constable, have died while around 200 people have been injured in the violence that rocked North-East Delhi earlier this week.

Two Special Investigation Teams (SITs) have been constituted under the Crime Branch, Delhi Police, to investigate the violence.
