Citizenship Amendment Act: Delhi police in 'shooting' row as protests spread

Indian police have denied shooting people during protests in Delhi - as anger at a citizenship law spreads across the country.

At sagame least three people said they were shot, but police said the wounds were caused by broken tear gas canisters.

The BBC has seen the hospital report of one person who thought he was shot. The report said doctors removed a "foreign object" from his thigh.

The new law offers citizenship to non-Muslims from three nearby countries.

The Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, said it was "for those who have faced years of persecution outside and have no place to go except India".

Others - particularly in border states - fear being "overrun" by new บาคาร่า  arrivals from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
