A journalist was shot at while two other journalists were injured following the fresh violence which erupted in northeast Delhi on Tuesday.

Akash, a journalist with JK 24X7 news sustained a bullet injury while covering the communal clashes in Maujpur locality and is in hospital where his condition is serious, said a tweet from JK 24X7 channel.

NDTV said its journalist Arvind Gunasekar was hit by rioters while he was at one of the spots in northeast Delhi and lost a tooth. His fellow reporter, Saurabh, who tried to shield him, was punched, it said.

Many other journalists took to social media to share tales of how they were heckled and some alleged they were questioned about their religious identity.

The death toll in the violence in northeast Delhi has climbed to nine, according to GTB hospital authorities.
