communal violence

Police in Hapur have arrested six rioters and lodged a complaint against several unknown miscreants who are now absconding

On the 4th of April, a Hindu man named Revant Singh (called Rewat Singh in certain places) was assaulted in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan by a group of Muslim youths for lighting a lamp on the occasion of Ram Navami.

The Superintendent of Police has said that this is an attempt to fume the community as the pamphlets were carrying objectionable content that may result in communal clashes.

Ramcharitra's family have alleged that Shabbir's family had beaten their pet dog to death and have been harassing them.

A Supreme Court vacation bench comprising Justice UU Lalit and Justice Aniruddha Bose said that the matter involves "issues which need further consideration by a bench of sufficient strength" and referred it to a larger bench for consideration next week.

In its report, the team observed that the women were used as a shield and that the dharnas were established in areas with concentrated Muslim population.

The vital information came to light during a coordination meeting between the Delhi and the Uttar Pradesh police.

87 people were shot down during the riots. These include the deceased and the injured. At the same time, around 300 people were injured with bricks, stones, sticks, and other sharp weapons.

Threatened about their safety during incidents of communal violence, the Hindus have expressed the desire to shift to 'safer localities'.

Hindu organisations in Gujarat's Khambhat are observing a Bandh against the violence, arson and attacks unleashed by Muslim mobs against them.
