VHP-Bajrang Dal members led by Naresh Uniyal and Ranjeet Singh Dharmi, gathered in the Gumaniwala locality, chanting the slogan “When the ‘Mullas’ are slaughtered, we will shout ‘Ram Ram,’” while alleging that a Muslim man had struck a woman with an iron rod. They also claimed that Muslim residents resorted to stone-pelting and accused a Muslim contractor of practising black magic during the construction of a Hindu family’s house.
