Bulandshahr: At least 217 persons were booked on Monday for allegedly fanning communal passion at a mahapanchayat of Hindu organisations in the district.
Those named accused in the case have been charged with delivering provocative speeches targeting a particular community at the mahapanchayat in Barauli village, SSP Gulab Singh said.
The mahapanchayat had been called to demand the arrest of the culprits in the recent clash between two communities at the village which had left a woman dead, he said.
