This triggered the mob who then attacked the officials to stop the demolition. According to the police, around 15 to 20 people provoked the crowd during the demolition drive by the municipal corporation team. Nainital district magistrate Vandana Singh on Friday said the attack was "pre-planned and unprovoked", adding that the accused had collected stones on rooftops before the attack began. "The attackers used petrol bombs, fired at the Banbhulpura police station, and set the vehicles on fire. They collected stones on the rooftops before the attack...the violence was pre-planned... The mob did not try to save the structure, they just attacked the state machinery and state symbols," the District Magistrate said.
Communal Tensions have been a part of our culture always. The reasons behind the riots could change but they keep on reoccurring in one form or another.
Recently, such incident one happened in Haldwani, Uttarakhand.
On the 8th of February, 2024, Communal Tensions rose when the District Administration demolished an illegally built 'Madarasa' in the area. The tensions became serious when a mob clashed with the police over the demolition. According to the police, the rioters pelted stones at the municipal corporation officials and set vehicles on fire outside the Banbhulpura police station. This violence caused the death of six people and injured over a hundred people.
On the demolition of the "illegallybuilt" Madrasa, she said, "We decided to continue the demolition drive because there was no stay on the assets... A legal process to remove the encroachment is being carried out at various places and so it was done here too...It began peacefully. Despite the entire process being carried out properly, a large mob, within half an hour, attacked municipal our cooperation team," the DM said.
