Section 144 has been reportedly imposed in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, following  the violence after conviction of Dera Sacha Sauda (DSS) chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim on Friday.

The violence reached the National Capital Region (NCR) after the court held DSS chief guilty. A bus was set afire at Loni in Ghaziabad and Rewa Express torched at Delhi’s Anand Vihar railway station.
