Within days after the occurrence of Bahraich communal violence in the City in Uttar Pradesh, the state government, under Yogi Adityanath, cracked the whip on police officials. The violence took place when the procession of Durga idols turned into violence, stone pelting and exchange of firing in which one man of the locality lost his life. As a result, the Chief Minister has assured justice and owed the situation to the victim’s family. However, what has raised a lot of controversy is how the police have dealt with the whole issue.
