In Indore, tensions occurred on Friday following a dispute between the two neighbours belonging to different communities over bursting firecrackers. The argument led to both sides throwing stones at each other which resulted in minor injuries to a few individuals, according to the media reports.
The dispute happened in the Chhatripura area of Indore, where some children were setting off firecrackers in the afternoon. Some individuals from the other community, “Samuday Vishesh”, grew angry and destroyed parked vehicles along the road, smashing the car windows.
Police arrived at the spot and resolved the situation. The injured are receiving treatment at the hospital, and the police have started the investigation, with actions to follow based on its findings. DCP Zone 4 Rishikesh Meena said, ‘The clash occurred in the Ravidas Pura area of the Chhatripura police station jurisdiction. Some children were setting off crackers on Friday afternoon, sparking a conflict between neighbours from different communities. Three people sustained injuries and are receiving medical treatment’.
He added, ‘Around 80 police officers have been deployed to maintain security in the area, and the situation is presently under control. We urge everyone in Indore to disregard any rumours or misinformation. Strict action will be taken against those found responsible’. Following the incident, Eklavya Gaur, son of MLA Malini Gaur, visited the Chhatripura police station along with members of Hindu groups, calling for strict punishment against those involved from the opposing side. Additional officers from Malharganj, Pandrinath, and Sarafa stations have been sent to the scene.
On Thursday, in Faridabad, a Hindu family was attacked by Muslims over the use of firecrackers during Diwali celebrations. The incident occurred in the Anandpur locality, where family members, including children and women, were assaulted by a Muslim mob led by two men, Raj and Ashiq.
They also molested the daughter of the family, tore her clothes, and tried to sexually assault her. The victim’s family has decided to leave the area, offering to sell their house. According to the media reports, the minor son of Durga Prasad was bursting firecrackers outside their house in Subhash Colony. Some Muslims led by Raj and Ashiq from the neighbourhood arrived and asked him to stop bursting firecrackers. This led to an argument with the family, following which the mob attacked them.
