With the prohibitory orders in place, people will not be allowed to gather in groups of 5 or more in public places, carry weapons/stones, or hold rallies or public programmes till midnight of June 9.
The trouble began on May 26 when two Muslims youths –Mohammed Hashir and Mohammed Mashooq – were stabbed by a group of miscreants in Kalladka. The victims were returning home after offering Friday prayers in a mosque. The accused have been identified as Mithun, Yatin, Amit, Acchuta, Naveen, Ranjit and Pushparaj, all said to be activists of a saffron group.
A day after the attack, residents of Kalladka had observed a bandh. Calling it a forced bandh, RSS leader Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat and his followers had allegedly forced some people to open their shops.
