Rioters got agitated by rumors

It is being told that the protesters were enraged by the rumor spread on social media that the accused involved in the stabbing incident on Monday was associated with Islam. However, officials said that the 17-year-old suspected knifeman, who has been arrested on murder charges, has no connection with Islam. But despite this, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim protesters are not stopping and are continuously protesting. Arson and looting are also happening fiercely during the violent demonstrations.
