A private society in Mumbai's Mira Road neighborhood became entangled in a contentious argument on the occasion of Bakrid 2023 as a result of a disputed occurrence involving the admission of goats onto the property. Some locals were adamantly opposed to the animals' existence, which caused division within the community. When a formal notice specifically barring the goat slaughter was issued, the situation took an unforeseen turn.
The incident happened at the JP Infra Society, where a family had purchased two goats in preparation for the forthcoming Bakrid or Bakra Eid, also known as Eid al-Adha. The decision, however, did not sit well with some locals, causing a stir and rising hostilities between the opposing factions.

The society administration posted a notice forbidding goat slaughter and pleading with inhabitants to respect their neighbors' rights in an effort to diffuse the escalating tension. The notification stressed the value of upholding a quiet neighborhood and urged all parties to work towards a peaceful conclusion.
Despite the warning, things got worse when the society administration took the goats out of the lift. Residents who supported the presence of the animals were enraged by this conduct, which led them to organize a protest.
They urged that law enforcement get involved, claiming that as long as they didn't break any rules or bother their neighbors, they should be able to keep animals as pets.
The irate locals demanded urgent police involvement as tensions grew. They had the opinion that the presence of law enforcement officers would aid in reestablishing calm, settling the argument, and ensuring the security of all inhabitants.
