Members of the Hindu Jagran Manch raided a Muslim settlement, claiming to have discovered smuggled wood and meat, which they alleged to be cow meat. They also seized axes, alleging that they were used for slaughtering cows. The police collected samples of the meat for further investigation.
Hindu nationalist organisations staged protests against the alleged slaughter of cows, displaying cattle bones recovered from the river as evidence. They demanded an encounter of those responsible for the alleged slaughter and called on the police to expel all Gujjars from the region.
