Misappropriate Behaviour Started Fights?

RIOTS \\ Days after the Muzaffarnagar riot, which left 44 people dead and several more injured, people in the affected area started revealing the allegedly ‘real incident’ which triggered the violence. According to media reports, the riots allegedly started when a 17-year-old minor was stalked and harassed by a Muslim boy identified as Shahnawaz, a resident of Kawal. Later the girl’s brother and a relative allegedly beat Shahnawaz to death. Soon, a group of Muslims allegedly attacked and killed the duo within 45 minutes of Shahnawaz’s death on August 27, 2013. Allegedly, the deaths triggered a riot between Hindu Jats and Muslims. When Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav met the alleged girl she reportedly handed him a letter revealing her tale. Earlier it was reported that a controversial video, which showed how a group of men killing a boy, triggered violence in Muzaffarnagar. The video, which was circulated on social networking sites, reportedly was shot in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Meanwhile, the Uttar Pradesh government submitted a report in the Supreme Court stating about the total loss that the state faced due to the riot. The report says, “There are 26,909 stranded persons in Muzaffarnagar and 14,920 in Shamli. In these incidents, people from both communities were killed and several people were injured. In these incidents, the families of such persons were targeted who were residing in those areas in limited numbers. Their houses, places of worships were subjected to arson, damage and demolition,” added the report.
