8,000 TLP activists began a procession to Islamabad from Lahore on October 22 demanding the release of Saad Rizvi and the expulsion of the French ambassador from Pakistan.
The two caretakers were identified as Hafez Humayun and Faisal by the chief custodian Ahmedunnabi Mashuk. The Quran was deliberately placed at a Durga Puja venue to trigger attacks against Hindus.
The attackers torched a passenger vehicle at Kalipal, hurled crude bombs, vandalised a fire truck and attacked Hindu temples such as JoyKali, Jagannathbari, Kalibari Temple and Gaziganj Ashram.
