According to a tweet, a group of 20 to 25 people passed through a Muslim locality while blaring provocative songs, and waving saffron flags in the evening at 6 pm.
Upon being alerted, the police immediately reached the location and assessed the situation. They detained six people in connection to the rally. The DJ was also arrested, while the remaining people fled the site.
