Ghaziabad: Another Hindutva religious procession took place on Sunday, April 5, in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad district, featuring a man depicting the consequences of “love jihad.”
A man with a skullcap and fake beard is seen holding a weapon, repeatedly stabbing into a table in front of him to depict attacking a person. A prop of a woman’s decapitated head hangs from a pole by his side.
According to the police, the right-wing group Hindu Raksha Dal organised the procession after seeking permission from authorities. “It is to be informed regarding the aforementioned matter that the procession was organised by the Hindu Raksha Dal after obtaining permission, in which conditional permission was granted,” Ghaziabad police said in a statement.
The authorities have since directed Assistant Commissioner of Police Ankur Vihar to investigate and take necessary action regarding the procession.
The Hindu Raksha Dal had organised the Hindu Dharmodaya Yatra to “raise awareness and unite society in the defence of religion.”
