Dharamshala, Nov. 14 -- Chamba police have detained seven people after tensions flared up in the town on Wednesday following a clash between two groups, police said on Thursday. The incident, which also took a communal turn, took place late in the evening when a group of youths allegedly attacked three young men, leaving two of them injured. Residents of the area said that around 30 individuals arrived on motorcycles, assaulted the trio, and used abusive language against the deities. Soon after the incident, a large number of residents gathered outside the City Police Post, demanding immediate action against the accused. The crowd later staged a sit-in protest outside the police post, demanding that the accused be handed over to them. They called off the protest after police officials assured them of strict action against the culprit and urged the locals to cooperate. On Thursday morning, members of local organisations and residents held another protest, briefly blocking traffic and reiterating their demand for stern action. Meanwhile, Chamba additional superintendent of police (ASP), Hitesh Lakhanpal said that so far seven people have been detained in the case. "The FIR has been registered against around 30 people and the efforts are underway to detain them. One of the accused was arrested soon after the incident while two others were apprehended near Mamoon Cantonment in Pathankot of Punjab. The case is being probed from all angles including the old enmity between the groups," he said, adding that extra force has been deployed in the area to prevent any further disturbance....
