Violent clashes and protests overshadowed President Donald Trump’s visit to Delhi, as at least seven people were killed and around 150 were injured in clashes between opposing groups in the Indian capital on Feb. 24.

The fatalities—six civilians and one policeman—were confirmed by police as the northeastern district of the city saw the deadliest riots since protests against a new citizenship law began over two months ago.
