RAJKOT: The president of
Karni Sena Gujarat lodged a complaint on Wednesday against unidentified persons for circulating messages on
WhatsApp and social media about attacking Mahatma Gandhi (MG) Hostel occupied by Dalits in Rajkot.
“President of Karni Sena Gujarat, Rajendrasinh Jhala lodged a complaint stating that there was a fake message exhorting members of Rajput community to mobilize and attack the hostel where Dalit students were staying,” said Pradyuman Nagar police station sub-inspector

Two days ago, there was an attack by members of the Dalit community on a hostel in Ahmedabad where members of Rajput community stayed.

The message called for attack on
MG Hostel at 4pm on Wednesday.
