Giridih (Jharkhand), Nov 5 || More than 20 people were injured after a clash broke out between two groups during a Kartik Purnima procession in Jharkhand’s Giridih district on Wednesday, officials said.
The incident occurred in the Taratand police station area, where a religious procession linked to Tulsi Vivah was being taken out.
According to local residents, a minor altercation on Tuesday evening during the Tulsi Vivah rituals snowballed into a violent confrontation.
Trouble escalated when the procession reached near the Kali temple on Wednesday morning, where members of another group allegedly tried to obstruct it.
An argument followed, which escalated further when some individuals began recording videos of the procession, leading to objections and provocation.
