Unknown individuals set fire to Muslim-owned businesses. The alleged reason for the conduct was Pakistan's victory over India in a cricket match. Hindu-owned businesses nearby were also burned. 11 families lost their means of support, and it happened during Ramadan. The majority of the shops were entirely destroyed, but the fire was put out after the fire department was called.
