In the Ashok Nagar area, Hindu goons burnt down a masjid and placed a bhagwa flag on the minaret. The mob shouting ¡°Jai Shri Ram¡± and ¡°Hinduon ka Hindustan¡± paraded around the burning mosque. In the video footage that is making rounds on social media, a man is seen climbing up the minaret with an Indian flag in his hand. He also attempts to raze a section of the minaret but fails.
At least 20 people -- including a police constable -- have been killed and more than 180 others have been injured in the violence.
