"We received a call at about 8.30 pm on Wednesday about a clash between two groups in the Shahbad Dairy area. We sent a PCR van to the spot but the mob attacked the vehicle and then torched it. Some attackers then pushed the van into a small pond. As we got the information about the incident we sent more force to control the mob. Senior officers of the area rushed to the spot immediately and controlled the situation," said Chhaya Sharma, DCP outer District.
The DCP herself rushed to the spot to stem the violence. "The mob was celebrating at a wedding function and most of the people were drunk. The brawl started when some people started dancing and the other group opposed. Few drunken miscreants attacked the PCR van. The driver and a constable suffered injuries; they are now out of danger. The situation came under control by 2 am on Thursday. We have identified and arrested 4 attackers in the case," she added.
