In Hastsal Colony, Uttam Nagar, Delhi, the Hanuman Jayanti procession took place with significant security measures, following the murder of 26-year-old Tarun Kumar during Holi celebrations. The event featured a 7-feet-tall idol of Lord Hanuman and a tribute to Tarun, including a song dedicated to him. Community members noted that while celebrations are typically grand, this year's festivities felt even more significant due to the recent violence. Seema Porwal, a local social worker, remarked on the change in atmosphere, stating that the community has adapted to the heightened security presence. Tarun's family, however, did not participate in the procession as they were attending a court hearing regarding the bail plea of the juvenile accused in his murder. In a related incident, police in Jahangirpuri removed individuals from a procession organized by the Hindu Raksha Dal due to unauthorized entry and route deviations, reflecting ongoing tensions in the area.
