A small dispute regarding kite flying reportedly escalated into stone pelting involving members of two communities on Tuesday night in the Jwalapur area of Haridwar.
To prevent the situation from escalating further, the authorities have deployed Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) in the area. The police circle officer (City) Abhay Pratap Singh said that there was some dispute about kite flying between two youngsters.
As the area has mixed population, members of two communities joined in the argument which led to deterioration of the situation. However, the police were able to bring the situation under control. The Jwalapur Kotwali inspector Yogesh Dev said that a person named Vineet Dhiman has submitted a complaint, on the basis of which a case has been filed. The police have started investigating the case and soon action will be initiated against those found guilty.
