The 1987 Meerut Riots were a series of violent communal disturbances between Hindus and Muslims in the northern Uttar Pradesh town Meerut which occurred from March to June 1987,[1][2] which resulted in the death of more than 350 people.[3] Nearly half of that number was made up of almost 150 Muslims from Hashimpura and Maliana who were killed by members of the UP Provincial Armed Constabulary in actions after the initial rioting.
