Tensions in Jalgaon: Stones Hurled During Protest Over Bangladesh Violence

A protest by the Sakal Hindu Samaj in Jalgaon against anti-Hindu violence in Bangladesh turned tense after stones were thrown at a vehicle showroom. Police intervened to control the situation. Similar demonstrations took place in Nashik. Violence against Hindus in Bangladesh spiked post the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government.

Tensions erupted in Jalgaon city, north Maharashtra, on Friday when stones were hurled at a vehicle showroom during a protest march organized by the Sakal Hindu Samaj. The march aimed to condemn atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh, officials reported.

The glass facade of the showroom was damaged due to the stone-pelting incident. Hundreds of supporters participated in the protest, marching to the collector's office to submit a memorandum of their demands. Police deployment helped bring the situation under control.

Similar protests were conducted by the Sakal Hindu Samaj in Nashik, where police maintained law and order. The unrest follows the resignation and flight of Bangladesh's Sheikh Hasina after anti-government protests, with reports claiming attacks on the Hindu community in multiple locations across the country.
