On Monday, a man in Mandsaur, Madhya Pradesh, reported being injured during a Milad-un-Nabi procession due to stone pelting and stick attacks. The incident led to brief tension in the city, prompting a response from local authorities. Superintendent of Police Abhishek Anand confirmed that the man filed a complaint at the Kotwali police station, and they are currently recording his statement to gather more information about the event. The situation escalated when stones were thrown near the Nehru Bus Stand, causing panic among the attendees and leading many shopkeepers to close their businesses. This reaction highlights the immediate impact of the violence on the local community and the disruption it caused during a significant religious observance. State BJP spokesperson Yashpal Singh Sisodia, a former MLA, emphasized the need for authorities to maintain peace in the area following the incident.
