Delhi Police have now registered six FIRs invoking charges related to rioting, assault on public servants, vandalism, unlawful assembly, criminal conspiracy and alleged drone violations. Officials say more than 118 police personnel were injured, while over 20 police vehicles suffered damage during the violence. WATCH
