“According to eyewitnesses, the flag hoisting programme was organised by a right-wing organisation in Kaveri building in Nayanta Mundla which is for the economically weaker section. After the ceremony, they allegedly shouted slogans against a community which was objected to by some people who also raised slogans,” said Bagri.
Later, a fight broke out between the groups. Stones were pelted, and a shop, and two cars damaged. A heavy police force reached the spot and brought the situation under control.
Two people were injured and they were rushed to a hospital where their condition is stated to be stable.
The SP said, “We are investigating the matter and will watch videos of alleged sloganeering before proceeding further.” A police team has been deployed in the area.
