Watch: "Police Was Dousing The Fire," Says Officer On Viral Video

As South Delhi's upscale New Friends Colony area turned into a battleground between violent protesters opposing the new Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the police on Sunday evening, one of the videos widely shared on social media showed law enforcement personnel emptying jars into a vandalised bus. Several buses and two-wheelers were set on fire in the clashes and many on Twitter - including Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia - floated a theory that the some members of the police may have been involved in the vandalism and arson themselves. The police, however, issued a strong denial. "You must see the whole video. There was fire outside the bus... police was using the water to douse the fire," Public Relations Officer of the Delhi Police Public Relations Officer MS Randhawa told NDTV.
