In a major crackdown, police arrested 39 people, including local cleric Tauqeer Raza Khan, in connection with the violence during the 'I love Muhammad' campaign after Friday prayers in Bareilly, while authorities suspended internet service in the district for 48 hours beginning Saturday.
Overnight house-to-house raids were carried out to nab the culprits and 10 cases were filed on rioting and other charges against 180 named individuals, including Ittehad-e-Millat Council chief Raza who had allegedly called for the protest, and 2,500 unnamed people, officials said.
Slamming the violence during the 'I love Muhammad' campaign, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath warned that those trying to disrupt Hindu festivals and inciting violence and anarchy in the name of faith will not be spared.
