In a similar incident at Attapur, tension prevailed after some persons stopped a vehicle carrying two bulls and attacked the driver of the vehicle on the same day. On coming to know about it people belonging to a particular community gathered in large numbers and staged a protest.

Both groups raised slogans, raising the tension in the area around Attapur and Kishanbagh. The police reached the spot and are trying to disperse both groups. The Hyderabad police have been put on high alert following the incidents at Jalpally and Attapur in the city.

Apart from these two incidents, a protest was held outside the Musheerabad police station by members of a community after a social media post criticising the alleged slaughter of a cow by Muslims on Eid Al Adha.

The person in question reportedly used incendiary language against Muslims and the practices of Eid Al Adhain in his post, causing locals in the area to hold the protest.
