Indore: More than 24 people have been in connection to the stone-pelting incident in Gautampura area of Indore on December 29, said Harinarayana Chari Mishra, Deputy Inspector General of police.
“More than 24 people have been arrested and four cases have been registered in a stone-pelting incident that happened in Gautampura area on Tuesday,” he said on Wednesday while talking to the reporters.“Some people pelted stones at a procession in Gautampura on Tuesday,” he said.
A public awareness rally was reportedly organised from Dharmat to Chandkhedi, Kanwasa, Sunala back to Rudrakhya via Khadotya in connection with the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya where an incident of stone-pelting occurred after some people opposed the rally.
Yesterday, the district administration also imposed Section 144 of the CrPC in Chandankhedi, Dharmat, Rudrakhya, Sunala, Devarakhedi, Gautampura city council, and Sanwer city council areas.
On Friday, December 25, in Ujjain’s Begumbagh locality, a similar fundraising rally was taken out. It comprised members of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) and other right-wing organisations. The participants reportedly shouted inflammatory slogans, prompting residents to object to the rally.
The inflammatory slogans quickly escalated into full blown clashes. A day after the incident, the local administration went to the Begumbagh locality and demolished a house and damaged another in a curious bid to remove illegal structures in the area. This was in alleged response to reports of stone-pelting from the area.
On Sunday, a delegation from Jamiyat-ulema-e-Hind Madhya Pradesh visited the areas where the clashes took place and visited the house of one Abdul Hameed, which was dismantled by the Ujjain Municipal Corporation. The delegation urged the local administration to investigate the incident thoroughly and decided to submit its report to the state police headquarters in Bhopal.
“The administration should probe the incident properly and take action against culprits,” said Maulana Mohammad Ahmad, vice-president of Madhya Pradesh Jamiyat-ulema-e-Hind.
Ahmad asked how the rally was allowed to be taken out when congregations are banned due to COVID-19 restrictions.
On the same day, at Dhar which neighbours the districts of Ujjain and Indore, similar clashes took place.
In a letter to the Dhar district magistrate dated December 26, one of the heads of the Dhar Muslim community, Abdul Samad, alleged that the participants of Ram Mandir Nirman Nidhi Sangrah Abhiyan took out a procession in which they brandished sharp weapons and shouted slogans against Muslims
