New Delhi, Jan. 7 -- Delhi Police detained a person from the area near the Faiz-e-Elahi Masjid, Turkman Gate, where the MCD carried out a demolition drive on Tuesday night. While the Delhi Police was taking the person away, he told the media that he was just on his way to buy medicines, because of his familiarity with the area. Claiming to be from Uttar Pradesh, the man alleged that he wasn't even given a chance to turn away.

The person being taken away said, " I was just on my way to buy medicines, they told me to take another way, but I didn't know where to go, as I am only accustomed to this area. Now, they have detained me without giving me a chance to turn away. I am originally from Uttar Pradesh. I work here."
