“The Valmiki person stopped the Sahsi person and asked him to drive the auto properly and under speed limit. They both had an argument and fought with each other,” said DCP North Madhur Verma.

He added a PCR call was made and by the time police reached, people of both communities, who live on the either side of the road, had already started throwing stones at each other.

The police brought the situation under control around midnight and deployed nearly 30 personnel in the area. The police detained four people under preventive action, said the DCP.

Empty glasses were also hurled during the clash. Shattered bricks and glass pieces could be spotted Thursday morning on the either side of the road. Corporation employees were seen cleaning the area.

A car was also vandalised. “This is the second time my car has been targeted. When there was a clash in July, they had broken my car,” said its owner, Rohit.
