On October 26 four Muslim youths attacked a Shiv temple in Hamiraka village and threw all the prasad when Hindus were distributing Annakoot Prasad in the temple which is located in the Sheikhpura police station area. Those who tried to stop them were also assaulted.

This Vandalism incident happened on the day of Govardhan Puja in the Bhiwadi district of Alwar, Rajasthan. 

Several Hindus were preparing Prasad for Govardhan Pooja when Mubarak, Mufeed, Taleem, and Joam Khan forcibly entered and vandalized the Hindu temple. Prasad was thrown to the ground by the Muslims. They even stopped the devotees from doing aarti-satsang. The Muslims even threatened to kill anyone who attempted to stop them.  The Hindus reported the incident to the authorities at Sheikhpura police station, however, the police did not take any action.

The Hindu youths demonstrated outside the police station demanding strict action against the culprits. Following the disruption of law and order, the police sent a team of officers to Sheikhpura. Two Muslims were arrested and ASP Vipin Sharma has assured to arrest of the remaining culprits within 24 hours.

Similarly in Kaithwara, on the day of Diwali, members of the Muslim community attacked Hindus in the name of protesting against cracker-bursting. In the incident, one Hindu man suffered critical injuries. The Bharatpur police, however, had explicitly denied the attack occurred because of the explosion of firecrackers.
