The incident was reported in Pathalgaon in Jashpur, Chhattisgarh on October 15. According to news reports, one person had died in the incident while 20 were injured.

      Meanwhile, social media users have linked the incident to recent communal violence that had gripped Kawardha town in Chhattisgarh. According to news reports, the town witnessed vandalism and destruction of property after altercations between two communities over removal of religious flags snowballed into communal violence on October 5.

      Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) IT cell head Amit Malviya, among others, shared the viral clip with a caption giving the incident a communal twist. Malviya's caption reads 'A speeding vehicle runs over a Hindu religious procession in Jashpur, Chattisgarh, without any provocation whatsoever. This is second such instance of communal profiling and assault on Hindus while CM @bhupeshbaghel is busy helping the Gandhi siblings find political ground in UP'.
