This incident took place in Gandhilpura area. Stones were pelted as a reaction to Hindus tossing gulal during the procession. After the incident, the mandal members decided not to proceed with the Deity Ganesh idol’s procession until the religious fanatics responsible for stone pelting were arrested, initiating a sit-in protest.
Unjust treatment to Deity Ganesh devotees by the PoliceThe president of the Ganesh Mandal, Nitin Dabhade, was detained and intimidated by the Police at the Police station until 2 a.m. Although Dabhade had named 13 religious fanatics in the original complaint, the Police included only 5 names in the FIR. Moreover, he was forced to falsely state that the Shri Ganesh idol’s arm was damaged because the vehicle hit a speed breaker, instead of mentioning the actual reason of stone pelting by the religious fanatics. The Police attempted to downplay the seriousness of the crime by altering the original complaint. (If the Police can fabricate such blatant lies despite the presence of many Deity Ganesh devotees as witnesses, one can only imagine what they do in other cases – Editor). |
