At least 50 people have been detained following a stone-pelting incident in Vadodara’s Zunigarhi area late on Friday night, police said on Saturday. According to Vadodara Police, the unrest began after a social media post sparked tensions, prompting a crowd to gather at the city police station to lodge a complaint.
While dispersing, a group of people from the crowd allegedly attacked a Navratri pandal, damaged vehicles parked nearby, and resorted to stone-pelting in the area. Police moved in swiftly to bring the situation under control.
Speaking to ANI, Vadodara DCP Andrew Macwan said, “We responded immediately to bring the situation under control. Fifty individuals have been detained, and a thorough investigation is underway to ensure appropriate action.”
