At least 34 people were arrested and internet services shut down in West Bengal’s Malda district after communal clashes<\/a> were reported from Mothabari and surrounding areas. Tension erupted on Wednesday, March 27, when a preparatory rally for Ram Navami was passing by a local mosque. It was alleged that a group of people threw fire crackers near the mosque. As news spread, a section of people blocked roads. When police intervened, stones were allegedly pelted at them and their vehicles were ransacked. Baton gas and tear gas shells had to be used to control the mob. Additionally, the mob ransacked public vehicles and shops in the area.<\/p>\n

Following the violence, several supposed visuals of the incident surfaced online. One of them shows a group of people setting fire to objects placed on roads, autorickshaws, and what seems to be an ambulance. Several prominent Right-wing influencers shared the video claiming that Muslims had wreaked havoc on the streets. X user @ocjain4 was among them. (Archive<\/a>)<\/p>\n
