Fans gathered outside the homes of their favourite stars – Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan – hoping to catch a glimpse of the two superstars on the occasion of Eid. However, the presence of hundreds of fans outside the actors’ homes caused chaos and disrupted traffic flow.

Video footage depicted scores of people gathered outside Salman’s residence, blocking traffic on the road, before police intervened with sticks. The crowd swiftly dispersed as they sought to evade the police action.

This isn’t the first time police have had to take strict measures against crowds gathered outside Salman Khan’s residence. In 2022, similar tactics were employed to control hundreds of fans gathered outside Salman’s home to catch a glimpse of the star on his birthday.

For years, Salman has adhered to the tradition of releasing a movie on Eid, dating back to 1997 when Judwaa was released. However, this year, the actor broke tradition by not releasing a film on the festival. Instead, he announced his next venture, Sikander, which will be released on Eid next year.

A BJP office and security vehicle were set on fire. Activist Sonam Wangchuk urged for a peaceful approach. The demand for Sixth Schedule status is due to Ladakh's tribal-majority population and direct central administration.
