Some sobbed quietly in the corner. Others angrily railed against the government. And still more—Hindus and Muslims alike—just sat catatonic with grief as bodies wrapped in white shrouds were wheeled in and out of a hospital mortuary in northeast Delhi.

The scenes captured the grim aftermath of the worst communal violence to hit India’s capital in nearly three decades, triggered clashes between protesters demonstrating for and against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019.

At least 32 people have died and more than 200 were injured over four days of rioting, according to the most recent tally from the state-run Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital.

Here are the latest news and updates from the fourth day of Delhi violence.

Paramilitary Personnel Accompany Funeral Procession Of Victim

Amid an eerie calm in northeast Delhi's Shiv Vihar, where communal violence broke out four days ago, 26-year-old Rahul Solanki's body was taken to a crematorium by his distraught kin and armed paramilitary personnel.

Solanki, who was pursuing his law degree from a private college in Ghaziabad, had stepped out on Monday to buy milk. He died after he was shot in the right shoulder near his neck, his father Hari Singh Solanki said.

"We took his body home from GTB Hospital. We wanted police and paramilitary forces to give us protection till we reached the crematorium to perform his final rites," he said on Wednesday. Senior police officers present in the area had assured the family members that they will be provided security.

A friend of Rahul, who was with him when he was shot, said they could not see who fired at him. "We saw a mob approaching us and began to run. We were barefeet and Rahul went to put on his slippers. While he was putting them on, some unidentified persons shot him dead," he said. PTI

Shops Shut, Eerie Calm In Riot-Hit Areas Of Delhi

Sporadic violence was reported from riot-hit areas of northeast Delhi, even as an eerie calm prevailed across Jaffrabad, Maujpur, Chandbagh, Gokulpuri and surrounding areas.

Most shops were closed with their shutters bearing marks of the violence witnessed over the last few days. Security officers conducted flag marches in the area, but people chose to stay indoors.

The Delhi Fire Service received 19 calls from midnight to 8:00 am today from the riot-hit areas, Director of Delhi Fire Service Atul Garg said. Over 100 firemen are deployed in the area and all the four fire stations in the area are provided with extra fire tenders to meet any emergency and are being managed by senior officers, he said. Senior officers are also camping in the riot-affected areas, he added.

The death toll in the ongoing Delhi riots increased to 32 today from 27 overnight. PTI

Delhi High Court Judge Muralidhar Receives Transfer Order

Delhi High Court Judge Justice S Muralidhar, who was hearing the Delhi violence case, has been transferred to the Punjab and Haryana High Court, days after the Supreme Court made the recommendation.

The notification for the transfer came on a day when a Delhi High Court bench headed by him expressed "anguish" over Delhi Police's failure to register first investigation reports against alleged hate speeches by three BJP leaders.

A notification issued by the Ministry of Law and Justice states that President Ram Nath Kovind took the decision after consulting the Chief Justice of India. The notification, however, does not mention when he has to take the charge of his office.

Calling Judge Muralidhar's transfer a classic case of “hit-and-run injustice” by the BJP-led central government, senior Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said "It seems those doing justice in country will now not be spared", adding that the move exposes the saffron party’s "politics of revenge".

Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, however, said the transfer came on the recommendation of the Supreme Court collegium, asserting that a "well-settled process" was followed.

"Transfer of Hon'ble Justice Muralidhar was done pursuant to the recommendation dated February 12 of the Supreme Court collegium headed by Chief Justice of India," Prasad wrote on Twitter. He said while transferring a judge, his or her consent is taken. "The well-settled process have been followed," Prasad added.

Death Toll In Ongoing Delhi Violence Rises To 32

The death toll in the communal violence in parts of northeast Delhi over the amended citizenship law reached 32 today, senior officials said. It was at 27 till Wednesday night.

"Five more deaths recorded at GTB Hospital, so death toll at that hospital has gone up to 30, taking total toll to 32," a senior Delhi health department official told Press Trust of India. The Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan Hospital had reported two fatalities on Wednesday. PTI

Delhi Violence: Sanders Terms Trump's Statement 'Failure Of Leadership'

A day after U.S. lawmakers reacted sharply to the violence in parts of Delhi, Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in Washington accused President Donald Trump of failing on the issue of human rights.

Trump's statement regarding the violence in New Delhi during his India visit was a "failure of leadership", he said.

"Over 200 million Muslims call India home. Widespread anti-Muslim mob violence has killed at least 27 and injured many more. Trump responds by saying 'That's up to India'. This is a failure of leadership on human rights,” Sanders tweeted.

Trump, when asked for his take on the Delhi violence during his India visit, had said: "As far as the individual attacks, I heard about it, but I didn't discuss that with him (Modi). That's up to India."

He is the second Democratic presidential nominee after Senator Elizabeth Warren to speak against the violence over the Citizenship Amendment Act in New Delhi.
