During Ganesh Chaturthi, Hindu processions in Mundra, Ratlam, Surat, and Chittagong faced violent attacks, including stone-pelting and assaults, sparking protests and arrests.
Some Hindu youths were taking out a procession for the immersion of the Bhagwan Ganesh idol in Badarikoppalu village. When the procession was about to cross a dargah on Mysuru Road, people from the Muslim community came and started a heated argument with the Hindu devotees. Following the altercation, members of the Muslim community allegedly pelted stones at the Ganesh idol and displayed lethal weapons.

Maharashtra govt led by CM Eknath Shinde decided to withdraw all the legal cases filed in connection with the alleged agitations during the Dahi Handi and Ganeshotsav
