Four men arrested in Indore at Garba dance event 

Activists of the Bajrang Dal objected to the presence of Muslim men at a Garba dance event organized at a private college in Indore. Following this, four young Muslim men were arrested under section 151 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (arrest to prevent the commission of cognizable offences) on October 12. When questioned on their presence in the event, their family members informed that they are studying at the same college and were volunteering during the event. 

A district official informed PTI that the Sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) Parag Jain ordered the release of the young Muslim men named Adnan Shah, Mohammad Umar, Abdul Qadir and Syed Saqib after they furnished bonds of Rs 50,000 each. 

According to eyewitnesses' statements, the Bajrang Dal activists had created a ruckus objecting to the presence of Muslim community members at the event. Due to this clash, the police had to arrest the four young men. 

The police informed that Tarun Devda, Bajrang Dal's local coordinator said in a complaint filed with Gandhi Nagar police station that the district administration had approved to organize the event with 800 people only but it turned into a commercial function by selling tickets to 2,000 to 3,000 people. 

According to Devda's complaint, a case was registered against Akshay Tiwari, a member of the college management, under IPC section 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant).
