Fresh protests broken out across at least seven Uttar Pradesh districts after Friday prayers this afternoon as thousands defied state-wide prohibitory orders and took to the streets to fight the new citizenship law. Faced with stone-pelting protestors and vehicles being torched cops resorted to lathi-charges and used tear gas to dispel crowds and control the situation. Mobile internet services continue to be suspended across several districts. Violence has been reported from Muzaffarnagar, Bahraich, Bulandshahr, Gorakhpur, Firozabad, Aligarh and Farukhhabad.
