Background
The incident took place on 25 May 2015 in the village of Atali in Ballabgarh, Faridabad. According to the locals, the cause of the confrontation was a dispute over a 30-year-old mosque. In 2009, the Hindu community of the village claimed that the property belonged to the village Panchayat, while the Muslims insisted that the land belonged to the Haryana Waqf board. In March 2015, the Faridabad court ruled in favour of the Muslim community. Hindus however, continued to raise objections, with some advocating the demolition of the mosque because it stood adjacent to a temple.
Aftermath
Some 2,000 people attacked the village using swords, bricks, and fire as weapons of choice.बल्लभगढ़ दंगा: हथियारबंद 2000 लोगों ने किया था हमला http://rajasthanpatrika.patrika.com/story/india/ballabhgarh-riots-2000-men-armed-with-swords-axes-began-attack-says-fir-1084907.html Rajasthan Patrika 31 May 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150531072038/http://rajasthanpatrika.patrika.com/story/india/ballabhgarh-riots-2000-men-armed-with-swords-axes-began-attack-says-fir-1084907.html 31 May 2015 dead The mosque was torched and the Muslims of the village fled.
