2014 Saharanpur riots
The 2014 Saharanpur riots were a series of violent communal clashes that occurred in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, India, on May 24, 2014. Triggered by the contentious rivalry among local factions, the riots primarily involved clashes between the Hindu and Muslim communities. The violence resulted in the death of at least two individuals and left many injured, while significant property damage occurred, including the burning of homes and shops. The state government imposed a curfew to prevent further escalation and deployed additional security forces in the region. The incident drew widespread attention, raising concerns about communal tensions and the effectiveness of law enforcement in managing inter-community relations in India.
