The Delhi Police, while opposing the bail application of Pinjra Tod member Devangana Kalita in connection with a Northeast Delhi riots case, has told a Delhi court that she was creating “narratives” to show that BJP leader Kapil Mishra was behind the riots, and making this viral to make people believe it was the truth.
