This is the whole matter
On Thursday evening, about 10 thousand people of the Muslim community pelted stones at a team of 700 people from the police, administration and municipal corporation that had gone to demolish the illegal madrassa and namaz place built on government land. The police station was burnt with petrol bombs. After this uproar, the entire area was transformed into a cantonment in the night itself and marking of miscreants was started. Police have registered an FIR under serious sections like disturbance, arson, sabotage, attempt to murder, damage to government property and disruption of government work etc.
