The five accused — Mohammad Arib, Kashif, Adnan, Mohammad Kaif and Sameer — were produced before Judicial Magistrate Pooja Suhag.
On Thursday, six more persons — Afaan, Adil, Shahnawaz, Hamza, Atharr and Ubed, all residents of the Turkman Gate area — were arrested.
“We have arrested six more people. So far, a total of 11 people, including one juvenile, have been apprehended,” Additional Commissioner of Police (Central) Nidhin Valsan said.

The police claimed that around 150-200 people were involved in the incident.
