2006 Aligarh riots
The 2006 Aligarh riots were a series of communal clashes that erupted in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India, in March 2006. The violence primarily involved Hindu and Muslim communities and was triggered by the alleged desecration of a religious site. The riots resulted in significant property damage, widespread fear, and a breakdown of law and order, leading to the imposition of curfews and deployment of police and paramilitary forces. The unrest claimed several lives and left many injured, further exacerbating communal tensions in the region. The riots highlighted underlying socio-political issues and the fragility of communal harmony in urban India. Subsequent investigations and government responses aimed to address the root causes of the conflict and restore peace.
