Stray incidents of violence were reported in an area of this Madhya Pradesh city on Saturday after a spat between a Moharram procession turned ugly and a baton charge and tear gas had to be used to restore order, police said.
Curfew has been imposed in police station area, a police official said.
According to police, the passing of a Moharram procession in front of a Hindu religious site in Sevanagar area was opposed on Friday night, leading to a clash between members of both communities. Police intervened and brought the situation under control.
However, another spat took place on Saturday afternoon and led to heavy brick-batting between the two communities, leading to police using force to disperse the mobs.
Superintendent of Police Harinarayan Chari Mishra told IANS that curfew was imposed in the area as a precautionary measure but the situation is now under control. - IANS
