Sakal Hindu Samaj inflamed communal tensions by holding a grand march at Bhavani Chowk, alleging that Muslims had celebrated Aurangzeb through sloganeering during Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi. They forced shops and commercial establishments to close in the morning. Hundreds of supporters participated, demanding the immediate arrest of the accused. Despite strict police arrangements, the city’s atmosphere remained tense. Sakal Hindu Samaj further demanded that all Muslims involved be charged with sedition, warning that they would soon hold a Mahasammelan and take matters into their own hands.
