The riots resulted in the death of 43 people with 180 injured. In the aftermath of the violence, Delhi CM stated that their main aim right now was to bring 'life back on track'.

"We have held a review meeting with all department officials. Our first priority is to bring the lives of people on track. Violence has stopped now. Many people have left their houses. They should return. Our intention is to ensure communal harmony among communities," Kejriwal said at a press conference.
