The Jaipur district administration has demolished a house linked to a violent incident at a local temple. A father-son duo allegedly involved in the stabbing had their illegally constructed home torn down after an attack that injured six individuals during a temple gathering.

Additional Commissioner of Police Kunwar Rashtradeep revealed that the family, residing adjacent to the temple, included Naseeb Chaudhary and his son, both of whom have been arrested for using knives and sticks in the assault. Police are scrutinizing CCTV footage to identify any other perpetrators.

Authorities clarified the incident was not rooted in religious conflict, as both parties were from the Hindu community. The investigation is ongoing, and further actions are anticipated upon verification of additional suspects.
