Shreegireesh journals his journey through the town of Khargone in Madhya Pradesh, which saw religious strife during the Ram Navami procession on 10th of April 2022.
What makes this violence-ridden city different from others is the response from the State Government, which illegally demolished several homes mostly belonging to one community.
Our reporter found a unusual case where a 12-year-old boy is being tried for riot damages, under a new law brought in by the Madhya Pradesh government.

Dear Readers,
The Reporters’ Collective relies on your donations. This month (September 2024) we require Rs 7.2 lakh more to meet our costs.
More than 75% of the donations are used to pay the salaries of our colleagues. The rest are spent on backend operational costs.
Please donate to help bridge this gap and enable us to consistently produce 2-3 investigative stories a month.
Our investigations are read in multiple Indian languages as we keep our reportage free for others to publish. Your support ensures our independence. Donate to keep the lights on in our newsroom.
