== Background ==
[[Illegal immigration to India|Illegal migration]] of non-native Muslims into [[Uttarakhand]] has been an issue for over a decade. Over 900,000 illegal immigrants of Bangladeshi origin live in Uttarakhand.<ref>{{cite news|date=Sep 2, 2019|title=Over 9 lakh Bangladeshis in Uttarakhand worried after NRC declared 19 lakh migrants illegal in Assam|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/over-9l-bangladeshis-in-ukhand-worried-after-nrc-declared-19l-migrants-illegal-in-assam/articleshow/70939215.cms|access-date=10 February 2024|work=[[The Times Of India]]|archive-date=10 February 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240210050356/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/over-9l-bangladeshis-in-ukhand-worried-after-nrc-declared-19l-migrants-illegal-in-assam/articleshow/70939215.cms|url-status=live}}</ref>

According to the Uttarakhand state government, illegal migrants from [[Bangladesh]], and [[Rohingya people|Rohingyas]] from [[Saharanpur]], [[Uttar Pradesh]] have been moving into Uttarakhand and [[Himachal Pradesh]]. The migrants often encroach on government land, illegally constructing [[mosque]]s, [[minaret]]s, and [[madrasa]]s.<ref>{{cite news |last=Majmuder |first=Abhijit |date=16 June 2023 |title=Why Uttarakhand and Jharkhand have set off alarm over demographic shift |url=https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/why-uttarakhand-and-jharkhand-have-set-off-alarm-over-demographic-shift-12749502.html |work=[[Firstpost]] |access-date=9 February 2024 |archive-date=5 July 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230705030526/https://www.firstpost.com/opinion/why-uttarakhand-and-jharkhand-have-set-off-alarm-over-demographic-shift-12749502.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

The pattern of illegal immigration has caused tension with the state before. In December 2022, the [[Supreme Court of India]] stopped the removal of over 4,000 illegal structures, housing over 5,000 unauthorised residents from railway land in Haldwani station after protests broke out in the state.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hussain |first=Zoya |title=Explained: What Is The Railway Land Controversy Happening In Haldwani? |url=https://www.indiatimes.com/explainers/news/explained-what-is-the-railway-land-controversy-happening-in-haldwani-589549.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240108143715/https://www.indiatimes.com/explainers/news/explained-what-is-the-railway-land-controversy-happening-in-haldwani-589549.html |archive-date=8 January 2024 |access-date=Feb 10, 2024 |work=India Times }}</ref>

== Riots ==
The Haldwani Police received orders from the [[Uttarakhand High Court]] to remove an illegally constructed mosque and [[madrasa]] in the Malik ka Bagicha area under the jurisdiction of Banbhoolpura Police,<ref>{{Cite news |date=Feb 11, 2024 |title=State govt requests MHA for additional forces amid Haldwani violence |url=https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/live-state-govt-requests-mha-for-additional-forces-amid-haldwani-violence-124021100060_1.html |access-date=Feb 11, 2024 |work=[[Business Standard]]}}</ref> which stood on government land.<ref>{{cite news |last=Mishra |first=Avaneesh |date=Feb 9, 2024 |title=Mob surrounded police station, reinforcements were sent in': Uttarakhand DGP on Haldwani Violence |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/mob-surrounded-police-station-reinforcements-were-sent-in-uttarakhand-dgp-on-haldwani-violence-9151976/ |url-status=live |access-date=Feb 10, 2024 |work=[[The Indian Express]] |archive-date=9 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209043212/https://indianexpress.com/article/india/mob-surrounded-police-station-reinforcements-were-sent-in-uttarakhand-dgp-on-haldwani-violence-9151976/ }}</ref> A petition was heard to stop the demolition of the illegal structures, however the court found no convincing evidence that the structure was not illegal, and thus no relief was granted.<ref>{{cite news |date=Feb 8, 2024 |title=60 injured; shoot-at-sight order in place in Haldwani after violence over demolition of 'illegal' madrasa, mosque |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/uttarakhand/madrasa-demolition-sparks-violence-in-haldwani-uttarakhand-shoot-at-sight-orders-issued-2886714 |url-status=live |access-date=Feb 10, 2024 |work=[[Deccan Herald]] |archive-date=9 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209003426/https://www.deccanherald.com/india/uttarakhand/madrasa-demolition-sparks-violence-in-haldwani-uttarakhand-shoot-at-sight-orders-issued-2886714 }}</ref>

As the police began to clear the illegal encroachment, angry residents descended to the streets to protest the removal of the illegal structures. They began breaking barricades and arguing with police personnel. As the clearing of the structure continued, the mob began pelting stones at the police, leaving over 60 injured, including police personnel. The police used non-lethal force, including [[tear gas]] and [[Lathi (stick)|lathis]] to clear the crowd; however, tensions escalated, leading to the mob [[Arson|setting fire]] to several vehicles. Rioting continued until the evening, when the mob also set Banbhoolpura Police Station on fire.<ref>{{cite news |date=Feb 8, 2024 |title=Uttarakhand: Clashes erupt in Haldwani after 'illegal' madrasa razed, police car set ablaze; curfew clamped |url=https://www.livemint.com/news/india/uttarakhand-clashes-erupt-in-haldwani-after-illegal-madrasa-razed-curfew-imposed-police-car-set-ablaze-11707404208554.html |url-status=live |access-date=Feb 10, 2024 |work=[[Mint (newspaper)|Mint]] |archive-date=9 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209040649/https://www.livemint.com/news/india/uttarakhand-clashes-erupt-in-haldwani-after-illegal-madrasa-razed-curfew-imposed-police-car-set-ablaze-11707404208554.html }}</ref> The Uttarakhand government on 11 February 2024 demanded four additional companies of [[Central Armed Police Forces]] from the [[Ministry of Home Affairs (India)|Ministry of Home Affairs]] after it had already sent four of them earlier.<ref>{{Cite news |date=Feb 11, 2024 |title=Haldwani Violence: Uttarakhand Government Writes To MHA Seeking Additional Paramilitary Forces |url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/haldwani-violence-uttarakhand-government-writes-to-mha-seeking-additional-paramilitary-forces-dehradun |url-status=live |access-date=Feb 11, 2024 |work=[[The Free Press Journal]] |archive-date=11 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240211033554/https://www.freepressjournal.in/india/haldwani-violence-uttarakhand-government-writes-to-mha-seeking-additional-paramilitary-forces-dehradun }}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite news |date=Feb 11, 2024 |title=Uttarakhand government seeks more paramilitary forces amid Haldwani unrest |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/uttarakhand-government-seeks-more-paramilitary-forces-amid-haldwani-unrest/articleshow/107593194.cms |url-status=live |access-date=Feb 11, 2024 |work=[[The Economic Times]] |archive-date=12 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240212150531/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/uttarakhand-government-seeks-more-paramilitary-forces-amid-haldwani-unrest/articleshow/107593194.cms }}</ref> The police confirmed that the violence was pre-planned, and that the rioters had attacked the police joint anti-encroachment team without any provocation.<ref>{{cite news |last=Talwar |first=Gaurav |date=February 9, 2024 |title=Haldwani violence 'pre-planned': Uttarakhand govt confirms 5 deaths |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/violence-in-haldwani-2-killed-3-injured-in-antiencroachment-drive/articleshow/107552476.cms |url-status=live |access-date=Feb 10, 2024 |work=[[The Times Of India]] |archive-date=9 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240209160703/https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/dehradun/violence-in-haldwani-2-killed-3-injured-in-antiencroachment-drive/articleshow/107552476.cms }}</ref>

Failure to comply would result in legal actions for recovery, as Malik is accused of constructing the "illegal structure".<ref>{{Cite news |date=Feb 12, 2024 |title=Haldwani violence: Notice for recovery of Rs 2.44 cr against key accused for damage to properties |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/uttarakhand/haldwani-violence-notice-for-recovery-of-rs-244-cr-against-key-accused-for-damage-to-properties-2891556 |access-date=Feb 14, 2024 |work=[[Deccan Herald]] |archive-date=14 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214193607/https://www.deccanherald.com/india/uttarakhand/haldwani-violence-notice-for-recovery-of-rs-244-cr-against-key-accused-for-damage-to-properties-2891556 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=Feb 13, 2024 |title=Haldwani violence: Key accused served notice for recovery of Rs 2.44 cr for damage to properties |url=https://www.aninews.in/news/national/politics/haldwani-violence-key-accused-served-notice-for-recovery-of-rs-244-cr-for-damage-to-properties20240213040928 |access-date=Feb 14, 2024 |work=[[Asian News International|ANI]] |archive-date=12 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240212224822/https://www.aninews.in/news/national/politics/haldwani-violence-key-accused-served-notice-for-recovery-of-rs-244-cr-for-damage-to-properties20240213040928/ |url-status=live }}</ref> The amount included Rs 2.41 crore for damage to 15 vehicles and Rs Rs 3.52 [[lakh]] for damage to equipment.<ref>{{Cite news |date=Feb 13, 2024 |title=Haldwani violence: Key accused served notice for recovery of Rs 2.44 cr for damage to properties |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/haldwani-violence-key-accused-served-notice-for-recovery-of-rs-2-44-cr-for-damage-to-properties/articleshow/107643088.cms |access-date=Feb 14, 2024 |work=[[The Economic Times]] |archive-date=14 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240214031259/https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/india/haldwani-violence-key-accused-served-notice-for-recovery-of-rs-2-44-cr-for-damage-to-properties/articleshow/107643088.cms |url-status=live }}</ref>
