Raipur: A violent Hindutva mob unleashed terror on the Muslim community in Chhattisgarh’s Gariaband district, setting fire to homes, vandalizing property, and causing widespread panic.
According to GLobal Mirror, the incident, which went on for several hours, took place in Dutkaiya village, where hundreds of attackers, armed with sticks, bricks, stones and kerosene bottles, gathered at the spot and tried to enter the homes of the 10 Muslim families who had locked themselves inside in a desperate bid for safety.
The mob vandalized properties, set vehicles ablaze, and blocked escape routes. Later, the police intervened and managed to shield over two dozen people, including women and children.
A police officer said, “We managed to evacuate the trapped victims, though two adults were injured and six officers were severely hurt. One cop suffered a head injury after being struck by a brick.”
