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.
