One of the accused, Afaak Khan, is said to be former district president of the NSUI, and Youth Congress president in the local unit.
"This is not activism. This is fringe behaviour encouraged by a party that has lost direction, lost discipline, and lost elections. When a party's leadership is weak, the cadre turns violent," read a post on X, accusing the Congress of spreading hate and provoking violence.
