A mob of sword-wielding Sikhs on Monday attacked policemen, injuring at least four of them, after being denied permission to hold a public procession in Nanded due to the coronavirus pandemic, an official said. 22 people have been arrested for the attack.
A viral video showed the sword-wielding mob barging out of the gurdwara, breaking the barricades put up by police and attacking the policemen.
Several vehicles were also damaged in the violence.
Nanded Range DIG Nisar Tamboli said the condition of one of the four constables was serious.
