UJJAIN: A clash broke out between two groups in Tarana town, around 35 km from district headquarter Ujjain in Madhya Pradesh late on Thursday, leaving around six persons injured. Eyewitnesses claimed that an angry crowd vandalised around 11 parked buses and damaged shops in the vicinity of the Tarana bus stand, after a group of people beat up two others – one believed to be a functionary of a Hindu outfit – over a petty dispute. Police are yet to confirm the identity of the attackers. Tarana block medical officer (BMO) Dr Pramod Argal said one Sohil Thakur, 23, was brought to the medical centre with head injuries.“His injuries resembled an attack with a blunt object, including a stone,” he said. Ujjain SP Pradeep Sharma told TOI, “As many as six persons have been booked for attempted murder under BNS. The situation is under control. No further violence was reported.”
