The Delhi Police said on Saturday they were analysing the videos to identify the people who created the commotion and violated traffic rules. They said appropriate action would be as per law taken against the violaters.
“We are analysing the videos and are trying to identify vehicles and the persons seen in them. Appropriate action will be taken against them,” Anil Mittal, additional PRO of Delhi Police, said.
