Violence erupted in Malegaon on Friday after Muslim supporters protested against the alleged vandalisation of Tripura mosques. Tripura govt had clarified earlier that the news of vandalization was fake.
The exhibition was to feature over 100 artworks, 35-40 photographs, animation videos, film and sculptures of this Bangladeshi artist. The exhibition aimed to capture 40 years of the journey of Rokeya Sultana.
A Quran was placed where it was not supposed to be, some photos were clicked and a rumour was spread on Facebook. What followed next was brutal attacks against Hindus and their Durga Puja pandals in Bangladesh.
