In a shocking turn of events, an unidentified group allegedly vandalized a place of worship in Jammu and Kashmir's Reasi district, sparking protests on Sunday by both Hindu and Muslim communities, according to local officials.

Authorities have detained at least 12 individuals and assembled a Special Investigation Team (SIT). Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Paul Mahajan reassured protesters that firm action would be taken against those responsible.

The incident was discovered by a visitor on Saturday evening in Dharmari village, inciting immediate tension and protests demanding the identification and punishment of the culprits. Protesters, representing both communities, blocked the main road, burning tires and staging a sit-in before peacefully dispersing upon assurances from senior police officers. "Anyone trying to vitiate the peaceful atmosphere will not be spared," Mahajan declared.
