Ghaziabad police have arrested six to ten activists from the Hindu Raksha Dal for allegedly distributing swords and other weapons in the Shalimar Garden colony. The FIR names 17 office bearers, including president Bhupendra Chowdhry 'Pinki', who remains absconding. The group claims the distribution was for self-defense, citing incidents in Bangladesh. Opposition parties have criticized the act, calling it an attempt to disturb communal harmony. Police have registered a case under sections related to rioting and wrongful confinement, with further charges possible.
