The Datta Mala procession was organised by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) in Aldur town on Saturday to mark the Dattatreya Jayanthi celebrations. According to officials, the organisers were permitted to carry out the procession peacefully. However, on Saturday night, the Datta Maladharis, while taking out the procession, attempted to burst crackers in front of Jamia mosque.
Despite clear directives from the police to refrain from using fireworks near the mosque, a group of activists reportedly attempted to burst crackers and engaged in a heated confrontation. When officers attempted to maintain order, they allegedly faced an attack from the enraged group, leaving some with injuries. The escalating situation prompted the authorities to register an FIR against seven individuals on charges of attempted assault and obstructing police duty. The injured officials were admitted and discharged from the hospital.
