Radical right wing Hindutva groups attacked the businesses of Muslims after finding some animal meat in the city. Assuming that it is the meat of the cow, they started shutting down the shops and ransacking the shops and vehicles. The slogans like ‘shoot down the rascals’ and ‘shut down the shops’ were heard too. Several people got injured and the police had to lathicharge to take control of the situation.
