The Right Wing Hindu Extremists created a ruckus at Udaipur court even after the imposition of Section 144. Some of those men climbed on the terrace of the court and hoisted the saffron flag. Slogans of Jai Shri Ram could be heard very well. The Hindu extremists pelted stones on the police injuring 10 policemen and 31 civilians. Police arrested around 51 people. They even threatened that they would barge into the houses of the Muslims and kill them. All of this unfolded after the heinous murder of a labourer in the state.
