Soon both groups clashed with each other and created a ruckus. Police reached the spot and tried to control the situation but kinnars misbehaved with them and some of them even indulged in nude protest at the public place.

Additional force reached the spot and took the kinnars to the police station. SHO Atarsuiya police station Jaichand Sharma said three kinnars from each group were booked under section 151 of IPC for disturbing peace. They were also warned not to clash and create ruckus in future, SHO added.
