These crimes are committed by unidentified groups known as terrorists / fanatics whose action seems to be inspired by wickedness. Reports published in the print media say that many incidents of temple burning, torture, extortion and land grabbing have taken place. The victims of these incidents are even scared of reporting to the law enforcement agencies due to fear of repercussion, because sometimes the authorities fail to find clues to the incidents just to avoid any action against the culprits. Ever since all these incidents have taken place, the victims and their families are passing their days in great uncertainty. We urge the government to ensure security and take the necessary steps to stop attacks on Hindus.
