Delhi experienced its worst sectarian violence in decades, leading to at least 27 deaths and over 200 injuries as Hindu and Muslim mobs clashed.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed for calm and brotherhood, while Delhi's Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal requested military deployment due to police struggles in controlling the situation.
The clashes were triggered by protests against a new citizenship law, widely seen as anti-Muslim, intensifying concerns about India's secular fabric under Modi's Hindu nationalist government.
