On the occasion of Shivratri, a large crowd gathered at the Khereswar Dham Shiva Temple in the Lodha police station area of Aligarh. During this time, some Muslim individuals were selling various items, including women's undergarments, roadside outside the temple premises. This drew the ire of Sachin Raghav, the district president of the Karni Sena, who began to protest through a microphone, making some controversial statements in the process. The situation escalated as Raghav's comments provoked a response from those present, leading to significant tensions in the area.

Upon receiving information about the unrest, the police quickly arrived at the scene. A heated argument ensued between Sanjeev Tomar, the Circle Officer on duty, and Sachin Raghav. The verbal exchanges grew more intense between the police and Raghav's Karni Sena workers, resulting in the police taking action by arresting Raghav. He was subsequently sent to jail due to concerns about public disorder, marking another legal challenge for him given his previous involvement in similar controversies against the Muslim community.

The incident has raised concerns about communal tensions in the region, with a video of the argument between the police and Raghav widely circulating on social media. This reflects ongoing challenges regarding communal harmony, the representation of minority communities in public spaces, and the rise of tensions surrounding religious festivities in India. The rapid dissemination of the video highlights how quickly such incidents can escalate in public discourse, especially in such sensitive environments.
