2022 Khargone violence
A Hindu–Muslim clash occurred in Khargone's Talab Chowk area on 10 April 2022, in the midst of a Hindu procession on the occasion of Ram Navami. The clash took place between 5:00 and 6:00 pm, when the procession was yet to depart from Talab Chowk and Muslims were gathering for evening prayers at the neighbouring Jama Masjid. Stones were pelted, houses and vehicles set on fire, and a few shots were fired, in which many were injured including a Police officer. Seventy seven people were arrested the next day and curfew imposed. The local administration  retaliated by demolishing establishments where violence erupted. The Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan (BJP) said that the government would take "strict action" against the rioters, who will be not only sent to jails but also made to pay for vandalising property.<ref name="Independent bulldoze"> Shweta Sharma, 'Where is the justice?': Despair after Delhi authorities bulldoze mosque, homes in response to religious riots, The Independent, 21 April 2022.
