[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]A minor boy, whose offensive Facebook post on Kedarnath Shrine triggered communal violence in Uttarakhand\u2019s Satpauli town, will likely be produced before a juvenile court on Monday.<\/p>\n

Yesterday, Satpauli witnessed violent protests from ABVP and Bajrang Dal activists demanding arrest of the minor boy. Activists vandalised the vegetable shop belonging to the minor boy\u2019s family while shouting pro-Hindu slogans.<\/p>\n

The shop owner had fled the spot.<\/p>\n

However, the situation was soon brought under control after police received reinforcements from a nearby city. Police says the protest has subsided since then and there was no violence overnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe police have been deployed in the town and we are in constant touch with the officials. The minor was held last evening and he will be produced before the juvenile justice (board),\u201d said Hindustan Times, quoting Jagat Ram Joshi, Superintendent of Police, Pauri Garhwal.<\/p>\n
