In a statement, Delhi Police Additional PRO Anil Mittal said: “During the investigation of these cases, it was found that during the peak rioting, a ‘Whatsapp’ group was created in the intervening night of 25/26.02.2020, which had 125 members. https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...
... . During the further investigation, it was revealed that while some members of these groups were only sending and receiving chats, few others were involved in active rioting (sic).” https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...
The WhatsApp Group was first named ‘Kattar Hindut Ekta (a misspelling of ‘Kattar Hindu Ekta’). This was later changed to ‘Hindu Ekta Zindabad.’
The name was changed at least four times to such titles as ‘Hindu Unity’ and ‘Hindu Ekta Group.’ https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...

However, the nature of conversation on this group remained the same – it was a group meant to mobilise rioters, keep an eye on their respective neighbourhoods, kill “Mullahs” and share arms and ammunition. https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...
Hundreds of messages seen by The Wire make it clear that the group was used by its members to mobilise crowds, identify Muslims, stay updated about the situation in their neighbourhoods and pump up the members’ morale. https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...
For instance, on February 25, messages included, “Ganga Vihar, Gokul Puri, Jhoripur, In sab jagha gumha Hu. Or 23 mullao k sir faade hai (I have been to Ganga Vihar, Gokul Puri, Jhoripur. And burst open 23 mullahs’ heads.)” https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...
On February 25 at 8 pm, one message read: “Brothers, people from RSS have come here to support us in Brijpuri.”
Another message read: “Aur 9 mullo ko maar diya gya hai Brijpuri puliya pr (Nine more Muslims have been killed on the Brijpuri bridge).” https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...

Messages read: “Masjidon ki maa chodo,” (F**k Mosques), “Jo bahar baithi thi…mullani unhe chodo
(The Mullanis [slur used for Muslim women] sitting outside the mosque…rape them).” https://thewire.in/communalism/delhi-riots-hindutva-whatsapp-muslims-murder-rape">https://thewire.in/communali...
