Notably, some local media publications reported that a mob of 100 to 150 Muslim men entered the Satvik Housing Complex in Bhavnagar and threatened the residents by selectively targeting some flat owners, and forced them to sell off their flats.
The report further claimed that the residents complained the Muslim men entered the society at night to threaten them and also warned them of consequences if they did not accede to the demand. The mob allegedly threatened the residents that they knew everything about their profession and that they would have to pay the price if they refused to budge.
The report also said that the residents have been served an ultimatum to give in to the demand or face dire consequences.
