Majeed said that the Ganesh procession was intentionally stopped in front of the mosque.
The Ganesh mandal moved forward with few returned boards to save trouble for other Ganesh mandals.
There have been incidents of stone-pelting at the Ganesh immersion processions even at Bhiwandi (Dist. Thane), Amalner (Dist. Jalgaon), Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh this year.
As soon as the Police received the information, they promptly reached the spot and detained several individuals.
This incident took place in Gandhilpura area. Stones were pelted as a reaction to Hindus tossing gulal during the procession.
Government must stop Muslims from carrying petrol bomb and swords, otherwise, in the next Ganesh Idol immersion we will resort to petrol bombs and swords.
They also raised slogans against the police. Considering the situation the police officials reached the spot, but all the discussions were futile.
As long as there is sun and moon in the sky, Ganesh idols will be immersed in Panchganga river only.
Shockingly, the Police also forcibly took the Ganesh idol from the hands of the devotees and placed it inside a Police vehicle, typically used for transporting offenders.
Muslims throw petrol bombs and brandish swords. Has anyone thought of the situation if Hindus retaliated with swords ? Muslims should avoid provoking Hindus.”
