According to the police, around 12.30am on Monday, the news was spread around that area that a 20-year-old Muslim man was beaten to death by a Hindu family. This is what led to people unleashing violence on the temple. Another group assembled to chase away and attack this group.
The two men involved in the parking row — Aas Mohammad and Sanjeev Kumar Gupta were injured. A photojournalist from a Hindi daily also sustained injuries.
