MUmbai: In a shocking turn of events, six people were injured in a violent clash between two communities in the Jehangirabad area of Bhopal on Tuesday. The confrontation erupted over a previous dispute involving speeding motorcycles, escalating into an all-out brawl that saw stones being pelted and swords being brandished by both groups.
A video capturing the chaos has gone viral on social media, showing the two groups hurling stones at each other while chasing one another with swords raised in a display of aggression.
The situation quickly spiraled out of control, prompting immediate action from the local police. A team was dispatched to the scene as soon as the authorities were alerted, and a significant police force was deployed to restore order and ensure the safety of the public. Several senior officers were also seen arriving at the site to manage the situation.
According to sources, the clash stemmed from a prior altercation two days ago, when a scuffle broke out between some youths over a motorcycle speeding incident. Of the five individuals involved in the scuffle, three were arrested, while the other two managed to flee. Local residents reportedly encountered the two absconding accused in the area, leading to a fresh confrontation where they began attacking the suspects.
The situation remains tense, but the police are working to de-escalate the violence and restore peace in the area. Authorities have urged citizens to remain calm and avoid any further escalation.
