Communal clashes broke out in Rajasthan’s Karauli on April 2, after stones were pelted at a motorcycle rally taken out to celebrate the Hindu new year. This prompted authorities to clamp a curfew, suspend the internet and deploy 600 police personnel to control the situation in the area.
The rally to mark Nav Samvatsar was passing through a Muslim-dominated area. The violence escalated and a few shops and a bike were burnt.
According to the police, around two dozen people, including the station house officer, were injured in the violence while 30 people were detained.
