Udaipur:
An official and six policemen were injured in a communal clash in
this Rajasthan district Sunday, police said.
The situation remained tense as police twice baton-charged a crowd
of people from two communities clashing with each other.
According to police, the incident took place in Mavli town in
Udaipur district, some 400 km from Jaipur.
"A minor tiff took place between a mobile shop owner and two
youths, who were participating in a function of a particular
community at a nearby school," said a police officer.
However, the situation exacerbated as supporters of some
shopkeepers from another community gathered there and a minor
clash between the two groups took place.
"Most of the people who were participating in the function had
left by that time. So the shopkeepers' supporters started pelting
stones at police and people from another community. A senior
administrative officer and six policemen were injured in the stone
pelting," said the officer.
He added that police then carried out baton-charges.
"Two police cases have been registered and at least 25 people have
been detained," said the officer.
Police have deployed heavy police force in the area to maintain
law and order.
