In a strongly-worded statement, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said there is no reported case of damage to the structure of any mosque in Tripura in the recent past and that people should maintain calm and should not be misguided by such fake reports.

The home ministry said the mosque in the Dargabazar area of Kakraban has not been damaged and the Tripura Police in the Gomati district is working to maintain peace and tranquillity.

The home ministry said that in Maharashtra, there have been reports of violence and unsavoury statements that are aimed at disturbing peace and harmony based on fake news regarding Tripura. “This is very concerning and it is urged that peace is maintained at all costs,” it said.

The home ministry made it clear that there is no reported case of damage to the structure of any mosque in Tripura in the recent past. “There is no report of simple or grievous injury or rape or death of any person in these incidents as alleged in some social media posts,” it said.

There has been violence in some parts of Maharashtra following rallies taken out by Muslim organisations on Friday to protest against incidents in Tripura. In Amravati, over 8,000 people had gathered outside the district collector’s office on Friday to submit a memorandum demanding that atrocities against the minority community in Tripura be stopped.

Violence was reported in Amravati, Nanded, Malegaon, Washim and Yavatmal. Police have so far arrested 20 people and detained four others by registering 20 FIRs under various charges, including rioting, in connection with Friday’s incidents.
