Karimganj of Assam was on the boil ever since an Arabic teacher’s arrest led to a clash between the minority Hindus and the majority Muslims in the beginning of February.

The situation in Karimganj’s Dhoalia was tense for days after that attack.

The simmering tension instead of subsiding increased manifolds on when around midnight (between 9th-10th February) miscreants taking advantage of the dark of the night attacked a Hindu Temple and threw out Shani idol. The Temple also suffered minor damages in this attack.

Houses of at least two Hindu families also suffered damages as the miscreants ran amok. The situation remained tense and came in control after police came on to the scene.
