On March 28th, 2023, Millat Times, a news agency known for its controversial coverage and Hinduphobic content, shared a video on its official Twitter handle. The video claimed that Bajrang Dal workers had raised objectionable slogans against Muslims in front of the Madrasa and Masjid in a religious rally in Tele village of Jamwa Ramgarh, Rajasthan. According to Millat Times, the situation escalated when Muslims asked the Bajrang Dal workers to remain silent during Namaz, and the workers allegedly responded by stone-pelting.
Millat Times further claimed that to protect themselves, children from the Muslim community also pelted stones, and the police were taking one-sided action by arresting only people from the Muslim community.
Furthermore, the alleged video shared by the Millat Times has sparked outrage on social media, with many individuals including RJ Sayema, denouncing the alleged incident of stone pelting in people who were praying. In her tweet, RJ Sayema wrote, Islamophobia rampant in India. Stone pelting on people praying is deplorable. Worse, no action will be taken on these goons.
Apart from this, other Hinduphobic Journalists like Mohammad Tanveer and Ahmed Khabeer also shared the same alleged video and made similar claims as Millat Times and Sayema.

Fact Check
During our investigation, we first conducted a keyword search for “stone pelting in Jamwa Ramgarh.” To our surprise, we stumbled upon a report by Organiser, published on March 27, 2023, which presents a contrasting account of events. According to the report, it was actually a Muslim mob in Jamvaramgarh, Jaipur, Rajasthan, who attacked a Hindu rally on the occasion of Hindu Nav Varsh and pelted stones at the participants. The report further claims that the police have already arrested 12 individuals in connection with the incident.
After this, we came across another report by Since Independence published on march 27, 2023. According to this report also a Muslim mob in Jamvaramgarh, Jaipur, attacked a rally by Hindus on the occasion of Hindu Nav Varsh and pelted stones at the rally.
However, In the quest for more information about the recent incident in Jamwa Ramgarh, Jaipur, we delved into the official Twitter handle of the Jaipur Rural Police, where we stumbled upon a tweet revealing the identities of the 12 accused who were apprehended in connection with the case. Alongside their pictures, the tweet informed us that these individuals were arrested for their alleged involvement in vandalizing the village of Tala Raiser during the Hindu Nav Varsh celebrations and the Ranbheri rally. The Jaipur Police also added that four minors who were involved in the crime were detained.
Now have a closer look at the names of all the accused that have been arrested by the police for stone pelting and disruption of peace, they belong to Muslim community.
So in conclusion, a deep dive into the facts surrounding the recent incident in Jamwa Ramgarh, Jaipur, has revealed that the claims made by some media outlets and individuals are completely false and misleading. Contrary to the assertions made by Millat Times, Sayema, Mohammad Tanveer, and Ahmed Khabeer, it was not Hindus who pelted stones on Masjids and Madrasas, but rather, it was Muslims who resorted to violence during a rally by the Hindu community to celebrate Hindu Nav Varsh.
Moreover, the evidence presented by the Jaipur Rural Police leaves no room for doubt about the actual sequence of events. Besides, The OFI team also does not support the foul and abusive language used by some youths in the alleged video.
Furthermore, It is crucial to verify the facts before jumping to conclusions or spreading false narratives, especially when it comes to sensitive issues that can have far-reaching consequences.
