The riots occurred in the aftermath of the Eid festival on 9 August 2013, and provoked a significant government lockdown in the Jammu region.
The conflict was orchestrated by the Communal forces by closing the most Sacre day of Eid Ul Adha and instigating the Muslim Men coming for prayers at Chowgan.
When some injured were taken to Tehsil headquarter for airlifting to Jammu hospital the Hindu mob led by local Hindu leaders crushed head of father of one of the injured youth named Lasaa Khanday and dragged his dead body throughout streets before police took control of situation.
one Muslim Gujjar person from Bonjwah who went missing initially was later allegedly confirmed dead by mob while he was on a labour job somewhere in.
The riots were instrumental in creating a national furore started when a bike rider was trying to make their way through a procession of Muslims who were going for Eid prayers but they are not given a way out.
The state government also prohibited the entry of politicians into affected areas, due to fears that the their presence could further inflame tensions.
