In Surat around 10,000 Jains from different sects gathered and carried out a silent rally on Athwalines Road, condemning the deaths of two Jain monks on Bharuch Highway. The rally started from Sargam Shopping Centre and ended at the district collectorate.
All the participants were in white clothes and were carrying banners condemning the deaths. The participants demanded a proper investigation by a special agency into the deaths and sought an assurance to prevent such incidents in future.
