A 55 year old shopkeeper’s son liked a Muslim leader’s post on social media. This led to them having to apologize to the Panchayat. The family decided to send their son away after things opened up. But before that, perpetrators set their wielding shop ablaze. This started fear among the other Muslim families in the village as well.
