Surat Stone-Pelting Incident: 27 Arrested for Attacking Ganpati Pandal | ABP News

Ganesh Utsav celebrations are in full swing across the country, including Gujarat, with people deeply immersed in devotion to Lord Ganesha. However, tensions flared in the Saiyedpura area of Surat after a stone-pelting incident at a Ganpati pandal. The situation quickly escalated, leading to widespread chaos as angry locals took to the streets, vandalizing vehicles in retaliation. In response, the police resorted to lathi charge and fired tear gas shells to control the situation. Despite their efforts, a large crowd soon gathered at the scene, and a protest ensued, with people surrounding the local police station, demanding action. The atmosphere remained tense for some time. Amidst the chaos, the police managed to apprehend those responsible for the stone-pelting.
