As some teachers and students stood up to them, they, too, were threatened and beaten up.

“It is useless to try to give a communal color to the matter. The people here are intelligent. The police will not touch the innocent but the guilty will not be spared either,” senior police officer Naushad Alam told India Today TV.
The BJP, which is in opposition in the state, has attacked the Hemant Soren government over the issue, claiming that incidents of love jihad and hooliganism are continuing unabated in the state. “Some frustrated Muslim men are targeting Hindu daughters and the government is doing nothing to stop this,” the BJP said.
