As per some local reports, Earlier also some Muslim youth tried to enter the Garba venue using fake names and a few local Muslims opposed the celebration of Navratri. The locals said, they do garba in chawk only, but last evening they went for five garba to other location as it was Ashtami (8th night of Navratri) as it was Sarpanch’s Badha. Some children had dressed as Ram, some as Ganpati and while just three four Garba were played, the stone pelting attack took place, very likely in pre-planned manner.
