A large number of relatives of the injured and deceased, as well as people from the Muslim community, reached the Sirohi hospital after hearing about the attack.

Bhim Army Sirohi Ex-District President Hiralal Motigar said: “Bhim Army demands from the government that the Pindwara police had been given a complaint two days ago, but due to the negligence of the police, the victim’s family had to lose their lives. Strict action should be taken against the concerned police station. Our demand is that the victim’s family should be given a government job and proper compensation. The culprits should be arrested. Until the Rajasthan government does not accept the demands, a dharna will be held at the hospital.”

Whoever is guilty should be arrested as soon as possible and given the harshest punishment. He said criminals should have fear of law.
