Right-wing activists beat up garba organisers for employing non-Hindus at Surat pandal
Surat(PTI): Activists of a right-wing group beat up organisers and security guards of a garba pandal in Gujarat's Surat city and vandalised the place claiming non-Hindu people were employed at the venue, police said on Tuesday.
A police officer said the organisers of the Thakor Ji Ni Wadi garba pandal refused to lodge a complaint, saying the matter was settled between the two parties.
"A group identifying themselves as Bajrang Dal activists went to Thakor Ji Ni Wadi garba pandal in Surat's Vesu area on Monday night and beat up organisers and security guards. They also damaged part of the place," DCP, Zone III, Sagar Bagmar said.
He said the intruders claimed that some people employed at the pandal belonged to a different religion and wanted them out.
"Police reached the spot and controlled the situation. We called the organisers for lodging of a complaint but they refused, saying they have settled the matter among themselves," Bagmar said.
The right-wing group had said it will guard garba events in Gujarat during the Navratri festival, which began on September 26, to prevent non-believers from entering the venues.

Varanasi tragedy: Man kills wife days after marriage, booked for murder
Varanasi: A chilling incident of domestic violence in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi district has led to the arrest of a 44-year-old man for allegedly beating his newlywed wife to death. The victim, identified as 26-year-old Aarti Pal from Jaunpur district, had married the accused, Raju Pal, on May 9. This was Raju's third marriage.
According to Chaubepur Police, tensions between the couple emerged soon after the wedding. On the night of May 16, a violent altercation reportedly escalated, leading to Aarti being severely assaulted by her husband. Disturbed by the commotion, neighbours alerted local authorities.
Police reached the couple’s residence in Amauli village and found Aarti in critical condition. She was rushed to the Narpatpur Community Health Centre, where doctors declared her brought dead. Preliminary medical reports suggest internal injuries due to physical assault as the cause of death.
