New Delhi: RAF personnel deployed to control the situation after violent clashes broke out during a Hanuman Jayanti procession at Jahangirpuri
An incident of stone-pelting was reported between two communities while a Hanuman Janmotsav procession was being carried out in Delhi's Jahangirpuri on Saturday. Several people, including 6 policemen, were injured in this incident. The injured were admitted to Babu Jagjivan Ram Hospital from Jahangirpuri for treatment. However, the Delhi Police later said that the situation is under control. Deputy Commissioner of Police Anyesh Rai, who was looking after the work of Delhi Police PRO, said there was a ruckus during the procession in Jahangir Puri. There were talks of stone-pelting and sporadic arson on people walking in the procession. The DCP added that all the top officials were deployed on the spot. "The situation is under control and additional forces have been deployed," said the officer. In view of the incidents of arson, two vehicles of Delhi Fire Service reached the spot, although Director of Delhi Fire Service, Atul Garg, said that the incidents were quite sporadic, hence the operation was called off there and the vehicles were called back.
