NEW DELHI: Muslims in a northeastern neighbourhood of India's capital returned for weekly prayers at fire-bombed mosques on Friday (Feb 28), two days after a 72-hour clash between Hindus and Muslims that left at least 40 dead and hundreds injured.
Five days after the riots started, authorities have not said what sparked the worst communal violence in New Delhi in decades. Hospitals were still trying to identify the dead as the toll continued to rise, and residents of the areas affected by the riots were still seeking loved ones.
