In Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, right-wing activists, including Bajrang Dal members, disrupted a birthday party at a cafe, alleging "love jihad" against two Muslim youths attending with Hindu friends. Police intervened, detaining the youths and cafe staff. While authorities stated no "love jihad" angle was found, they fined the two Muslim youths and a staffer for disturbing the peace. Videos of the incident, showing activists disrupting the party and allegedly assaulting attendees, led to social media criticism questioning the police action against the victims rather than the disruptors.
