Bhopal: Even as curfew continues in the Khargone city of the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, Hindutva goons torched four vehicles and a garage.
While the curfew is in force in Khargone since Sunday evening, some Hindutva activists set ablaze three buses, a car and a garage in the city’s Mechanic Nagar area on Monday night, Additional Superintendent of Police Neeraj Chourasia said.
An eyewitness said that the Ram Navami procession started on Sunday from Talab Chowk area with a DJ music system playing Hindu religious songs loudly.
