In Uttar Pradesh's Bareilly district, tensions flared between two communities over the route of a Muharram procession, leading to a violent confrontation involving stone pelting. Purportedly, the dispute arose when the Muharram procession was taken through a field, prompting objections from a local farmer. In retaliation, individuals from the procession allegedly attacked the farmer's house with stones and bricks, as captured in a viral video surfaced on social media on Thursday, July 18. The Bareilly police responded, directing the station in charge to initiate legal actions in accordance with the law, aiming to restore peace in the area amidst heightened communal tensions.
