The assaults started as soon as the rally started to march on the GS Road leading to Khyndailad. While it looked like any other rally from upfront but in between members of the group many masked punched and kicked passers by and those caught in the traffic jam.

Emboldened by no action from the police and no visible efforts from the leaders, the terror continued and escalated near Dhankheti junction.
