And police did nothing. “Stone pelting by Muslims on Ganesh idol: Many injured,” from the Daily Sanatan Prabhat, with thanks to Looney Tunes:
Tulzapur, Maharashtra: On Anant Chaturdashi, the last day of Sri Ganesh festival, a procession was taken out for immersion of Sri Ganesh idols by ‘Veer-Shaiva Tarun Mandal’ at Katgaon (Tal. Tulzapur, Maharashtra). While the procession was passing by a mosque, some Muslims pelted stones at the procession causing damage to Sri Ganesh idol and injuries to many people participating in the procession.
The Muslims were shouting slogans of ‘Pakistan Zindabad’ while pelting stones. Due to the damage caused to the idol, people were livid with anger. The situation in Katgaon became quite tense. Members of the Ganesh Mandal called the police and demanded to register complaint against those Muslims. The idol was immersed only after an assurance was given to arrest the culprits.
The devotees who participated in the procession, however, told that while registering complaint against the miscreants, police have mentioned in their FIR that due to pelting of stones at the procession, loud-speaker has been damaged. When the residents and members of the Ganesh Mandal asked the police to write a true report, instead of taking action against the Muslims, police started threatening the members. In fact, the police inspector said that if the members tried to insist on writing a complaint, he would register a complaint against the members of Ganesh Mandal and give evidence against them.
