BIJNOR: Two people were injured during communal clash between two groups in Bahadurpur village under the Bilari area of Moradabad district after a pet dog entered a mosque. A video of the incident has also surfaced.
The clash began after a local resident's dog entered the mosque on Monday evening, after which a youth allegedly hit the animal with a brick. Although the matter was initially settled, tensions flared again after the 'tarawih' prayers, leading to violence.
A group of around 21 to 25 people allegedly pelted stones at people performing bhajan-kirtan, injuring the dog's owner and his nephew. Police registered an FIR against 21 persons, arresting four so far.
