The heavy police force was deployed in the town and patrolling was being done and the situation being monitored, said a senior police officer. Hindusthan Samachar reporter informs that the clash broke out as some people were questioned by members of another community while they were moving around removing silencers from their bikes to invite attention that resulted in disturbing their deep sleep. Some bikers were thrashed before the police arrived and this invited retaliation by other communities that reached in large numbers and attacked houses and setting vehicles on fire parked in the streets.
Police claim that some of the rioters allegedly cut water pipes of the fire engines that were engaged in extinguishing the flames and injured policemen. Some residents have also claimed that their houses were also looted by the mob. District Collector Prashanti visited the riot prone areas and assured that those involved in the clashes were being identified and legal action will be initiated against those responsible for the violence.
BJP State president Dr. Lakshman has claimed that the riots were pre-planned by the goons of MIM and demanded nabbing of culprits soon. Another delegation of BJP met the State Election commissioner Mr. Nagi Reddy and demanded postponement of municipal elections because the free and fair elections cannot be held under these circumstances.
