A disturbing incident occurred at the maha Kumbh mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, where a family was violently attacked for cooking chicken. The incident began when a group of individuals, reportedly including a 'sadhu' (Hindu holy man), took offense to the family's food choice.

The attackers physically assaulted the family members, removed their tent, and threw the chicken out. A video of the incident shows the 'sadhu' dismantling the tent, hurling the cooked chicken, and using abusive language.

The family, who were attending the maha Kumbh mela, were reportedly cooking chicken in their tent when the attackers stormed in. The incident highlights the growing intolerance and violence towards individuals who do not conform to certain dietary preferences or cultural norms.

The maha Kumbh mela is a sacred Hindu festival that celebrates spiritual unity and harmony. However, this incident raises concerns about the safety and security of attendees who may not share the same beliefs or practices.

The authorities have been criticized for not taking adequate measures to prevent such incidents. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with many calling for greater tolerance and acceptance. By addressing these concerns and working towards a more inclusive and tolerant society, we can ensure that public events like the maha Kumbh mela remain safe and enjoyable for all attendees.
