Delhi Police PRO MS Randhawa on Thursday, 12 March, spoke to media about the ongoing investigation in Delhi violence cases.

Randhawa asserted that the law-and-order situation in the national capital is normal now and added that the police has registered 712 FIRs and arrested over 200 accused in connection with last month's violence in northeast Delhi.

Reiterating what the Home Minister said in the Lok Sabha yesterday, Randhawa said face-recognition software is being used to identify those involved in the riots and the incident is being probed from all angles.

"We are doing an analysis of all the footage. Face recognition technology is being used to identify people. Many people have come forward to record their statements. SIT and local police are conducting the probe."
