Communal tension escalated in Jaipur’s Ramganj and neighboring areas after a man lost his life due to being beaten by a mob following a misunderstanding, according to the police. The incident occurred as a result of an accident involving two motorcycles at Subhash Chowk. In a case of mistaken identity, a group of individuals present at the scene assaulted two bystanders, believing them to be responsible for the collision. Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph stated, “After the accident, an unfortunate incident of road rage occurred in which two men, who stopped to see what had happened, were thrashed by a group of people.” Regrettably, one of the innocent bystanders died. In response, authorities have detained numerous individuals associated with the incident, ensuring that peace will ultimately be restored. The accused individuals reside in the Subhash Chowk area, while the victim hailed from Ramganj. Security forces, including the Special Task Force (STF), have been deployed in sufficient numbers to maintain order, with the use of drones for monitoring the area. Director General of Police Umesh Mishra assured that strict action, in accordance with the law, will be taken against the perpetrators. Although several shops in the predominantly Muslim areas remained closed, the situation did not escalate further due to the prompt apprehension of the accused and the presence of security forces. The victim’s family and local residents have demanded justice for the innocent individual.
