During the protest, more than thirty people were reportedly injured and one was critically injured.

Hawa Singh Ghumaria, Additional Director General of Police said that Hindus were taking out a religious bike rally on the occasion of the Hindu new year on Saturday evening. While the procession reached a mosque, some miscreants pelted stones at them. This resulted in stone-pelting and arson by the other side too in which a few two-wheelers and shops were torched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
