The BJP Gram Samiti of Boliyar had organized a victory rally from Boliyar to Dharmanagar to celebrate the NDA government’s swearing-in at the Centre.

During the rally, a group near the Boliyar Mosque had allegedly told the rally participants not to play DJ music, leading to a verbal altercation. After the victory celebration, Harish Poojari from Dharmanagar and his brother-in-law Nandan were attacked by the group with knives while they were heading towards Boliyar on their bike.

Following the incident, District BJP President Satish Kumpala and leader Santosh Rai Boliyar visited the Konaje police station late at night.

At the same time, a large group of BJP activists gathered at the station, expressing anger against the police. They alleged that the police only recorded videos of the altercation near the Boliyar Mosque and did not take any action.

The activists demanded immediate arrests based on the video footage.

The police assured the BJP leaders of swift action, which led to the activists dispersing peacefully.
