[Aljazeera] The death toll in Delhi's worst religious violence in decades has risen to 20 as Indian police have been accused of looking the other way while Muslims and their properties were targeted.A mosque was set on fire in the Indian capital on Tuesday by Hindu mobs, as several Muslim-populated areas in the city were attacked during three days of violence, which were triggered after attacks on sit-ins against a new citizenship law.
Indian website The Wire reported that a mob shouting "Jai Shri Ram", translated to "hail Lord Ram", paraded around the burning mosque in the Ashok Nagar area of the capital.
Video footage shared on social media showed a mob climbing to the top of the mosque's minaret where they attempted to plant a saffron flag.
Local media reported that shops in the area were also being targeted by the mob.
Police imposed a restriction on large gatherings in northeast Delhi as reports emerged of stone-pelting and more structures being set ablaze.
