Clash breaks out in Delhi’s Jahangirpuri

New Delhi, April 16 : Several people were injured in a stone pelting incident amid the violence that broke out between two groups at North-West Delhi’s Jahangirpuri area during Hanuman Jayanti procession on Saturday. According to sources, people who were injured in the incident have been shifted to hospital. They said that the senior police officials rushed to the spot and tried to take control of the situation but it soon turned slightly ugly as stone pelting occurred after 10-15 minutes intervals. In a tweet in Hindi, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, “The incident of stone pelting in the procession in Jahangirpuri, Delhi is highly condemnable. Strict action should be taken against those who are guilty. Appeal to all people. Maintain peace by holding each other’s hand.” In a later tweet, he said, “Spoken to Hon’ble LG. He assured that all steps are being taken to ensure peace and that guilt will not be spread.” CM RNJ
