Communal Clashes Erupt in MP Town
There was a big fight between two groups in a town called Tarana in Madhya Pradesh.
It started when a man named Sohel Thakur was hurt by another man named Ishaan Mirza.
This made people from both groups angry, and they started throwing stones, breaking things, and setting fire to buses.
The police had to come and stop the fight.
They even had to close down shops and put a rule called Section 144 to keep people safe.
The police caught some people who were involved in the fight.
The next day, some people protested at the police station to ask for strict action against those who hurt Sohel Thakur.
The police are still there to make sure nothing bad happens again.
Communal clashes erupted in Tarana town, Ujjain district, Madhya Pradesh, leading to stone pelting, arson, and vandalism.
The tension started when Sohel Thakur, local unit president of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, was attacked by Ishaan Mirza and others.
Around 15 people were arrested for vitiating social harmony, and a case of murderous assault was registered against six individuals.
