Five injured in clash between two communities

Five persons, including four policemen, were injured in a clash between members of two communities over playing music during a marriage procession here.
The incident took place late last night, Joint Commissioner of Police D J Patel said.
"Members of the two communities clashed in the communally-sensitive Fatehpura locality by pelting stones, leaving four police personnel, including a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and a local resident injured," he said.
The angry mob set two-wheelers and tyres on fire, Patel adding, "police fired 20 teargas shells and rubber bullets to control the mob".
Playing music during a marriage procession triggered the violence, he said.

Following the incident, policemen have been posted at several sensitive points in the area and combing operation is on to nab the accused. The situation is now under control, Patel said.
