Police action has intensified in Rajasthan’s capital Jaipur following violence that erupted outside a mosque in the rural Chomu area. Law enforcement agencies have launched a targeted crackdown and are selectively detaining those allegedly involved in stone pelting during the early morning unrest on Friday, December 26. The incident reportedly began around 4:00 am over a dispute related to the removal of stones near the mosque premises. According to police officials, when authorities attempted to defuse the situation and restrict the gathering, a section of people allegedly resorted to stone pelting.

To control the escalating situation, police were forced to conduct a lathi charge and fire tear gas shells to disperse the crowd. Additional forces were deployed in the area to prevent further violence and ensure law and order. Senior officials confirmed that multiple teams are reviewing CCTV footage and local inputs to identify and apprehend those responsible.
