Rajkot (Gujarat) – On 27th January, a group of 5 Hindus were attacked in Bhaktinagar area of Rajkot by a frenzied mob of Islamists over alleged blasphemy.
TV9 Gujarati reported that an ‘objectionable’ post was uploaded on social media by one Vinay Dodiya, following which Hindus were targeted by Islamists. Both communities uploaded Instagram stories about it and then decided to meet and ‘discuss’ the issue. However, the Hindu group came under the attack of a mob of about 25 Islamists.

While speaking about the matter, Zone I Deputy Commissioner of Police Praveen Meena informed, “Individuals from two religious communities posted Instagram stories, which are auto-deleted after 24 hours, and claimed their sentiments were hurt. They asked each other to remove the posts and agreed to meet at a spot to discuss the matter. Nearly half a dozen people from both sides arrived on Thursday night”.
He added, “They were forced to disperse by a Police patrol van as night curfew is in place for the coronavirus outbreak. While dispersing, one of them damaged the motorcycle of a person from the other group”. On receiving information, the Bhaktinagar Police rushed to the spot to pacify the situation.
