Hyderabad, May 17 (PTI) Two groups pelted stones and clashed here following an altercation over suspected cattle transportation in a truck here, police said on Sunday.
The incident happened in an area under Gudimalkapur Police Station limits late Saturday when a group of local ‘gau rakshaks’ stopped the vehicle suspecting that cows were being transported in it. However, there was no cattle in the truck and it was only carrying plywood, police said.
The members of a group beat up the truck driver and the cleaner, resulting in arguments with another group of local people, leading to clashes between them and stone pelting in the area.
Police resorted to mild lathi charge to disperse the crowd, a senior police official told PTI.
Two police personnel were also injured in the stone pelting.
“The situation is peaceful,” another police official said.
A case was registered and further investigation is on, police added. PTI VVK VVK KH
