A mob stormed into a police outpost in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district and ransacked it, leading to injuries to four persons, police said Saturday. The incident took place late Friday night at Ukawad outpost in Hirapura village under Madhusudangarh police station limits, some 50 km from the district headquarters.

“Two groups of people had clashed over putting up a kiosk, after which four persons from one of the groups came to the outpost to get an FIR registered. Meanwhile, around 40 persons of the other group came in and thrashed these four. They also ransacked the outpost,” a senior police officer said.
