Jodhpur (Rajasthan): Violent clashes erupted in Rajasthan's Jodhpur, resulting in the arrest of at least 43 individuals following a dispute over an illegal construction on disputed land in Soor Sagar area. The conflict initially stemmed from disagreements over the construction of a gate near an eidgah, violating a 15-year-old agreement between two communities.
The situation escalated on Friday night when tensions flared into stone-pelting between the groups, leading to injuries to two policemen and extensive damage to property.
According to Jodhpur West DCP Rajesh Kumar Yadav, the clash centered around the construction of the gate at the backside of the eidgah near Rajaram Circle. Local opposition to the gate's construction escalated into violence, with mobs from both communities hurling stones at each other.
ADCP Nishant Bhardwaj said, "We received information about stone pelting at around 6-7 pm in Subhash Chowk and near by areas. The police teams were immediately rushed to the spot. A case has been registered and many people have been arrested."
