What happened in Karauli
Communal clashes erupted on April 2 in the town of Karauli, Rajasthan after a bike rally organised on the occasion of the Hindu New Year, met with stone pelting.
The incident occurred when a Shoba Yatra (bike rally) going through a Muslim dominated area raised religious slogans. Things went out of control when young Hindu men climbed on top of a mosque and waved flags as well as danced on the roof of the structure.
The scene angered many onlookers who then threw stones at the rally angering the Hindus. It quickly escalated into violence leading to arson. Shops and bikes were burnt and more than 40 houses were set on fire. Around 35 people sustained injuries.
Following the violence, police imposed section 144 CrPC till April 10.
