Members of Kranti Sena did rounds in the market areas of Muzaffar Nagar on the occasion of Hariyali Teej, a Hindu festival. They were going from shops to shops to make sure no Muslim mehndi artist or barber is working and tending to Hindu customers. They also threatened Hindu shop owners to not employ any Muslim workers in their shops on the festival day and also in the future. Rajesh Kashyap also wrote on his social media that “any Muslim found working, Kranti Sena will teach them a leeon in their style”.
