Members of Hindu Jagran Manch, led by Tanke Deka, attacked several Muslim houses and stalls along the route to Poa Mecca, vandalising properties and setting the structures on fire. The group also warned residents to leave the area immediately, alleging that they were illegal encroachers. Poa Mecca, a historic pilgrimage site, has long been regarded as a symbol of communal harmony and is visited by both Muslims and Hindus.
