Islamic posters in Bahraich’s Maharajganj Bazaar on zakat use and “heavenly women” prompt concerns, with locals labelling the market a hub of Islamic activities amid rising tensions.
After this anti-Hindu violence, the violent mob played the victim card and the leftists started portraying the Muslim community as the victim. OpIndia's investigation revealed that the real victims of the violence are Hindus.
Vinod Mishra, an eyewitness to this attack, said that the Muslim mob attacked Hindu devotees after being incited from the mosque. The Bahraich police had termed his claim on social media as 'misleading'.
Bahraich Police dismissed Hindu eyewitness accounts, citing unrest, raising concerns over justice being compromised in favour of maintaining order and silencing key testimony.
