The incident occurred in RK Puram, Sainikpuri, where women from the locality had set up tables to serve annaprasadam during Navratri. According to police, the woman, who belonged to the area's only Muslim household, objected to the arrangements and argued with those involved before allegedly pouring fish-cleaning water and waste from her first-floor residence onto the site.
Following the incident, Neredmet Police registered charges against the woman under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita for promoting enmity, outraging religious feelings, criminal intimidation and insult. She was subsequently sent to judicial remand.
Images showing the woman's arrest were widely shared on social media. The posts framed the incident as a desecration amid tensions surrounding the festival, bringing further attention to the case.
The incident has drawn attention to the dispute over the Navratri food distribution arrangements, while police action and the judicial remand mark the latest developments in the case.
