This report will focus on the communal conflict that took place in the Garden Reach area of Kolkata in the year of 2024 during Durga Puja. As part of a series of fact-finding reports by An Assemblage of Movement Research and Appraisals (AAMRA), the study delves into the social and historical contexts that shaped the incident, using ethnographic research and interviews with key stakeholders to amplify marginalized voices often overlooked by mainstream media. The report highlights the escalation of tensions following a viral video allegedly showing Muslim youths disrupting a Durga Puja celebration, the subsequent dissemination of inflammatory content on social media, and the role of political rhetoric in exacerbating communal divisions.
