Groups of two communities have been accusing each other of stoking communal tensions after some miscreants posted purported announcements from a local mosque.

One person named Aadil Gafoor Ganai was arrested for delivering an inflammatory speech from the Markazi Jamia Masjid Bhaderwah on June 9 during a protest rally against the recent controversial remarks made by former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma.
