Bajrang Dal workers allegedly assault people who are reading Malala Yousafzai’s book during a gathering in Ahmedabad, according to police reports. India Today says three people are arrested in connection with the incident. NDTV reports that an organised group from civil society is gathered in a public ground and that the assault follows opposition from Bajrang Dal workers.
Both outlets link the attack to objections over Malala’s book during the reading event. NDTV frames the gathering as a civil society effort where participants allegedly read the book, while India Today highlights that Bajrang Dal workers thrash people at the site and that arrests are made afterward. The accounts do not provide further detail on injuries, the exact location within Ahmedabad, or the legal provisions invoked, but they agree on the central sequence: a reading event, opposition by Bajrang Dal members, an assault, and subsequent arrests.
