During the violence, several vehicles and shops were set ablaze in the communal clash following which a curfew was clamped till April 10 with some relaxation in later days.
Over the Karauli incident, the Rajasthan Congress had formed a three-member fact-finding committee, which included the MLAs Jitendra Singh and Rafiq Khan, and the Karauli district in-charge Lalit Yadav. (ANI)
