  • On 10 April 2022, a clash between Hindus and Muslims occurred in the city of Khargone, Madhya Pradesh. It took place between 5:00 pm and 6:00 pm, in the midst of a Ram Navami procession organised by a Hindu nationalist organisation allied to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). At 5:00 pm, when Muslims were gathering for evening prayers at the neighbouring Jama Masjid, the procession had not yet departed from the city's central Talab Chowk area. Stones were pelted by both sides, houses and vehicles were set on fire, and several shots were fired, in which multiple people were injured, including a police officer. By the next day, 77 people, mostly Muslim, were arrested and a temporary curfew was imposed.Several days later, the number of people arrested climbed to 175, of whom only 14 were not Muslim. The BJP state government retaliated by demolishing the establishments where violence erupted, mostly those of Muslims.The Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan of the Bharatiya Janata Party, said the government would take "strict action" against the rioters.He defended the decision to demolish properties and said it was intended to "instil fear of financial losses among the accused".The government was criticized for its apparent attempts to deliver 'bulldozer justice'.
