Uttar Pradesh Additional Director General of Police (ADG) Law and Order Prashant Kumar on July 24 in Lucknow, informed that the police prevented a major communal conspiracy amid the ‘Kanwar Yatra’ in Lucknow.
“A big communal conspiracy was prevented (on July 24) under Sherkot Police Station limits. Information was received about 2 people ransacking Jalal Shah Mazar and burning several 'chadar'. Police reached the spot,” the ADG said.
“Police arrested 2 brothers in this regard, namely Kamal and Adil. They tied a saffron-coloured cloth on their heads and conducted the incident. No damage was done to religious texts. The same incident happened at Qutub Shah Mazar in Sherkot at 11:30am, which went unnoticed,” he added.
