The chaos began near Noor Mahal Hotel in Rakhial, where an armed group attacked a local photographer, Saddamuddin Sheikh, and his cousin Sohail, demanding information about Saddamuddin’s brother Salman, a convict who absconded after jumping parole. The attackers pursued the duo with swords, creating panic in the locality.
Later that night, the violence escalated near Banagar Char Rasta in Bapunagar when police personnel responding to a control room alert were ambushed. The mob vandalized the police vehicle, breaking its windshield and looting ₹5,000 in cash.
