A video of the incident went viral on X

Hindu organisations have condemned this act. After the video went viral, Swami Shivanand Giri, a seer from Haridwar, raised objections.

He wrote on social media that it appeared a message was being conveyed that "we will blow up the vehicles of *kafirs* (non-believers) in this manner."

Ritesh Maheshwari of the Hindu Jagran Manch stated that the 'Sakal Hindu Samaj' demands that the district administration clarify whether permission had been granted for such an activity.

Regarding the matter, Badnagar Station In-charge confirmed that the police have been apprised of the incident.

An investigation is underway, involving the questioning of the organisers, and prompt action will be taken.
