A hindu mob barged into Masjid-e-Noor in Chapprauli Banger village near Sector 168 of Noida. They beat up the brother of the Imam by holding his caller and slapping him. They pelted stones at the resting room adjacent to the mosque where the Imam and his brother were breaking some windows. They barged into the room and asked him why they use loudspeakers for prayers. The police arrested two locals regarding the incident. A meeting was held between the two communities and the mosque committee decided to lower the volume.
