Udaipur: Communal tensions erupt over a knife attack against a 15-y/o student

OpIndia, August 16, 2024:
Udaipur was in the grips of communal tensions on Friday, August 16, following a knife attack against a Hindu student by a student allegedly belonging to the Muslim community.
The altercation between two students led to Hindu organisations closing markets in various parts of the city.
The attack took place around 10:30 AM in the Surajpol police station area, where one student injured another with a knife before fleeing the scene.
The injured student was quickly taken to Maharana Bhupal (MB) Hospital by teachers, where he is now receiving treatment in the ICU. Outraged by the incident, people have forced the closure of shops in the Chetak Circle, Hathipole, Ashwini Market, Bapu Bazaar, and Ghantaghar areas. Police have been deployed as a precautionary measure.
District Education Officer Lokesh Bharti mentioned that both minors, around 15 years old, are classmates at the Government Senior Secondary School, Bhatiyani Chohatta.
The exact cause of the dispute between the two students remains unclear, but they clashed outside the school during lunchtime. One of the students stabbed the other two to three times in the thigh. As the injured student began screaming, teachers hurried to the scene.
The child’s parents were notified and rushed to MB Hospital, accompanied by a large number of residents. Police forces have been stationed at the hospital to ensure order is maintained.
Residents took to the streets after the incident, vandalising property, setting a garage on fire, and overturning several vehicles in the Sardarpura area. In response to the unrest, Udaipur Collector and District Magistrate Arvind Poswal imposed Section 144 in the city, instructing officials to enforce the order rigorously….

A large group of Muslim community members gathered outside the City Chowk police station to demand action against Ramgiri Maharaj, alleging that he made objectionable comments against Prophet Mohammad and Islam, they said.
Police tried to pacify the group.
Inspector Nirmala Pardeshi of the City Chowk police station appealed to them to maintain peace. She assured that they would take note of their demand and also take strict action.
Meanwhile, speaking to Marathi news channel ABP Majha on the controversy surrounding his statement, Ramgiri Maharaj said, “Hindus should remain alert. I have spoken what I wanted to. I am firm on it and I am ready to face its consequences.” Former MP and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) state unit president, Imtiaz Jaleel wrote a letter to the city police commissioner to seek action against Ramgiri Maharaj….
The statements were made deliberately to malign the image of the Muslim community, he added.
Jaleel claimed that such statements were aimed at creating a rift among the Hindu-Muslim communities.
