Four Muslims including two students were arrested in Indore from a college during a Garba celebration after a large group of Right Wing people barged into college belonging to Bajrang Dal and created a rampage accusing the college of promoting Love Jihad. No action was taken against the Hindu goons but these four Muslims were arrested and granted bail after submitting bonds of Rs. 50,000 each. Adnan Shah had volunteered to work for the college in the parking of the event when the Bajrang Dal, which is linked to the ruling party BJP stormed inside. He was one of the 25 volunteers but he was the only one singled out. The Bajrang Dal did not want the involvement of any non Hindu person in the Garba celebration.
