According to police sources, the attack on Police Station was pre-planned and it was not a mere religious gathering by Muslim groups protesting against the hate speech of Kamlesh Tiwari. It is alleged that the political parties carried out a strong anti-Hindu propaganda in the area.
During the rampage, goons had set the Kaliachak police station ablaze reportedly with the intention to destroy all criminal records of BDO and ransacked six houses and over 35 vehicles. It is suspected that anti-national elements might have been involved in the violence. CCTV footage is being observed to identify the culprit.
