The incident occurred on March 27. The visuals show several Muslim meat shop owners questioning the district authorities and police personnel why only certain meat shops were sealed and not those located all over the city.

Speaking to a local media, one protesting meat shop owner said, “This is our bread and butter. The administration is wrong in sealing only shops owned by Muslims. They have sealed four shops here. Then why are they not sealing the other 200 shops spread across the city?”
