Communal tension flared in Bhagalpur, Bihar during an idol immersion ceremony when a Hindutva mob equipped with weapons targeted an Imambara on November 2. The mob stopped by the street and a man climbed up on the wall to wave a saffron flag while some other Hindu men were found raising Israeli flags near the holy edifice.
The mob also played highly offensive derogatory songs full of abusive words, and demeaning women, while some people were spotted fluttering swords in the wind to threaten the Muslim community and endanger the peace and harmony of the area.
Social Media Backlash
Abusive songs played on high-pitched DJs were muted in viral videos due to filthy wordings and netizens slammed such terrible attempts of the mob that purposely aimed to incite violence and communal riots.
