The fight created chaos inside the mosque compound. Supporters of both sides gathered, and tensions remained high for some time. People present at the scene tried to intervene and stop the violence, but the situation remained tense before calm was restored.

During the commotion, a small child became trapped in the crowd and began crying in fear. Some worshippers later helped the child move to a safe place.
