Visuals showing a physical altercation have been circulating with claims that members of a particular community attacked RSS workers during a Kheer distribution program in Jaipur, Rajasthan. However, police reports confirm that the accused are also from the Hindu community. Those arrested have been identified as Naseeb Singh Chaudhary, his wife Nirmala, and their son Bishma. The incident is unrelated to religion.
Sharing the visuals on X (Formerly Twitter) Right-Wing media outlet ‘Sudarshan News RJ’ wrote. People of a particular community again spoiled communal harmony in Jaipur. Anti-social elements attacked RSS volunteers with knives during the distribution of kheer at RSS’s Sharad Purnima Mahotsav program in Rajni Vihar. Eight injured were admitted to SMS Trauma Center.

Right-Wing account Sheetal Chopra (@SheetalPronamo) also shared the visuals and wrote. Naseeb Chaudhary attacked RSS karyakartas with knife in Jaipur. Swayamsevaks mistake was that they were reciting Hanuman Chalisa on the occasion of Sharad Purnima and were distributing Kheer, Islamic radicalisation is on rise. Coexistence with these animals is impossible.
