In Mohammadganj village, Bareilly district, the atmosphere was reported to be calm on Friday, coinciding with the religious observances of the Muslim community. Given the sensitive nature of the day, local police and administrative authorities were on high alert to prevent any disturbances. Forces from nearby police stations were also deployed to ensure peace, and as a result, no untoward incidents were reported. The authorities maintained vigilance over potential troublemakers in the area, contributing to the overall stability during this time.

This precautionary action came after tensions rose when an unauthorized collective prayer was conducted in a residential home, which sparked discord within the local Hindu community. Following the incident, the Hindu residents expressed their concerns through protests, even threatening to leave the village in response to hostility perceived towards them. They displayed signs stating 'House for Sale' outside homes belonging to the Muslim community, further escalating the communal tensions. The prompt police intervention effectively prevented violence from erupting in the village.

However, the situation escalated legally when the Muslim community sought relief from the Allahabad High Court, which subsequently issued a notice of contempt to Bareilly's District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police, Anurag Arya, demanding an explanation regarding the handling of the situation. This incident has revealed deeper undercurrents of communal strife within the region, highlighting the fragile interplay of communal relations in a village where no religious site exists for either community, making the need for peaceful coexistence more pressing than ever.
