The incident took place on April 9 (Wednesday), when a burqa-clad Muslim girl was sitting on a scooty with her Hindu friend in the Chandra Layout area. Then, some Muslim youths stopped both of them and questioned them on religious grounds and behaved indecently.
What happened to the girl and the boy?
According to the local people, when the girl was sitting on a scooty with her friend, four Muslim youths stopped them and asked:

After this, the youths asked the girl for her family’s number and pressured her. The girl replied:
“He is my classmate. Why should I give you my family’s number?”
The youths then asked the Hindu youth why he was meeting a Muslim girl. The matter escalated when they made a video of the girl and the boy and made it viral on social media.
