Dhanbad/ Ranchi: Dhanbad/Ranchi: In a unique and heart-warming gesture of patriotism, the Muslim community in Katras, Dhanbad, paid tribute to the armed forces during the Muharram procession by recreating a scene inspired by 'Operation Sindoor'.
The highlight of the procession was the meticulously crafted replica of an IAF fighter jet made from hard paper sheets and wood. The jet carried a symbolic message of national unity and pride, with a young girl named Alisha dressed as Wing Commander Sofia Quraishi seated inside. As part of the act, the jet was lifted upward using ropes toward a pre-installed national flag.
In Ranchi, people braved the incessant rainfall to take part in the Muharram procession.
Here, the organisers also take out tableaux on various themes including 'Operation Sindoor'.
The processionist also displayed skills with various arms like lathis and swords and beat up their bodies to lament the sacrifice of their religious leaders and shouted slogans in his memory.
Meanwhile, the authorities took adequate security measures and the event passed off peacefully.

Speaking to ANI, Mr. Haq said he met Radhika during the Tennis Premier League in Delhi, and later worked with her on a music video. 'I met her (Radhika) for the first time in the Tennis Premier League, which was held in Delhi. After that, I met her in a music video. She was an actor to me. I have worked with many actresses... She just came for the shooting of the music video, and then she left... We just gave her a good luck amount. The production of the video was unpaid. After that, we never contacted,' he said. Mr. Haq refuted any involvement in Radhika's death and expressed concern over attempts to give the incident a communal angle. 'This incident is being given a Hindu-Muslim angle too. I don't know why it is being done. I don't have to do anything with this case... Radhika has no social media. There is just a video clip on YouTube; that's why it is being highlighted repeatedly,' he added. He further said that false rumours about a relationship between him and Radhika are being spread on social media, which are completely 'untrue.' 'There was neither any kind of friendship nor any relationship between Radhika and me,' he said. Mr. Haq mentioned that Radhika came to the shoot with her mother and had said her father liked the song. '...She (Radhika) came to the shooting (of the music video) with her mother. On the set, she also mentioned that her father liked the song, which means she took permission from her father also... When we met her for the first time, she told us that she wants to work in this line (film line)... She desired to work in this line... After that, we never met. We were in contact during the release of the song... She deactivated and reactivated her Instagram account around 2-3 times,' he said. Mr. Haq also clarified that he hasn't been contacted by police yet but is ready to cooperate. 'When the song did not get the expected popularity, I thought my song got wasted and I decided to delete it... I anticipated re-releasing it with another face. I was cast in the music video at the last moment as an actor, but I did not like my look. However, I am not deleting the video for now... I was not contacted (by any investigating officer). If I receive any call, I will definitely cooperate with them,' he said. Radhika Yadav, 25, was cremated in Haryana's Gurugram on Friday (July 11, 2025). She was allegedly shot dead by her father, Mr. Deepak Yadav, following a disagreement over her tennis academy in Sector 57. Dr. Deepak Mathur, who was part of the postmortem team, confirmed that multiple gunshot wounds. 'The postmortem of the deceased tennis player is completed.
