Meanwhile, the city was limping back to normalcy, after Friday's violence during a bandh, following which police used batons and fired teargas shells.

About 199 persons, including 28 women, were arrested as a large section of Dalits protested against the killing of four members of the community in Khairlanji in Bhandara district.
