"At around 1 pm, during 'Zohar' prayers, a dispute broke out between Shakil Ahmad, president of the Muslim Festival Committee, and one Syed Sawesh Ali over wearing the black armband as part of the protest," said Sub Inspector Rajkumar Singh Choudhary.
Now the CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced. In the video, it can be seen a large number of Muslims gathered on the road with their faces covered with clothes. These mobsters had sticks in one hand while with the other hand, they were picking up stones and hitting the people involved in the celebratory rally.
Hindu organisations said that illegal activities have been taking place inside the Tamkhan mosque. The accused are also said to be involved in illegal mining in the area.
Hindu organizations told the police that the accused had deliberately insulted the Hindu God and was last located near the Polyground. The complainant said that the accused shot the video on the same location and uploaded it from his ID named 'Sukkha Maharaj'.
Several reports attempted to give casteist color to the matter as they said that the 'Casteists' crushed the huts of the victims with a tractor and destroyed their crops. However, Yadavs claim that the Sahariya family hit them with an axe.
