Cow vigilante Radha Madhab Das, along with his team, interrogated street vendors selling Christmas-related items, demanding that they produce their Aadhaar cards and permission slips. He threatened them to pack up their goods and leave, or alternatively sell items related to Jagannath instead. He claimed that this is a Hindu Rashtra and the land of Jagannath, where such activities would not be tolerated. He also urged bystanders to drive the vendors out, alleging that bombings occur because of such people.
