Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath Thursday warned that his government will take revenge on those involved in damaging public assets by auctioning their properties to compensate for the loss.

On Thursday two people were killed in similar protests at Mangaluru in the southern state of Karnataka.

Last week four people were killed during protests in the northeastern state of Assam.

Meanwhile, the protests that went on peacefully throughout the day in the capital Delhi turned violent after police stopped people from taking out a march.

Police used water cannons and batons to disperse the protesters, who set ablaze a car near Daryaganj area.

Protests erupted across India and inside universities against the new citizenship law last week after Indian parliament passed the law.

The law aims at granting citizenship to illegal immigrants belonging to six religions - Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Parsi and Christianity - from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan. However, it has kept out Muslim immigrants from applying for citizenship.

Opposition parties and civil society members in India criticize the law as contrary to secular principles enshrined in India's constitution as it excludes Muslims.

Political parties, civil society activists and individuals have filed 60 petitions in India's top court to challenge the new law.
