Officials claimed that new fighting broke out between two groups on Saturday in the Jalgaon district of Maharashtra after the vandalism of a monument by unknown miscreants.
At least 12 individuals were held after skirmishes between two factions in the Jalgaon district’s Atarwal hamlet, according to ANI.
The event happened two days after a fight between members of two different groups took place in the same neighborhood. This came after a DJ-music-accompanied religious procession that had been carried out in front of a mosque.

A police official said on Saturday that at least 12 persons had been detained in connection with the racial unrest in the Maharashtra city of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, previously known as Aurangabad.
After a fight between two groups outside a Ram temple, a crowd of around 500 people went crazy and threw stones and bottles filled with gasoline, injuring at least 12 persons, including 10 police officers, on Thursday in the Maharashtra city of Aurangabad.
They said that the event, in which 13 automobiles were set on fire by the miscreants, took place between Wednesday and Thursday night in the city’s Kiradpura neighborhood, which is home to the well-known Ram temple.
According to the authorities, the police dispersed the crowd using tear gas, live ammunition, and a few plastic bullets. They also organized eight squads to locate and apprehend the offenders.
