The violence in Satara in Maharashtra happened late Sunday night.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
Four people were injured – one critically so – after members of two communities clashed in Maharashtra’s Satara district on Sunday night. Stone-pelting and incidents of arson were triggered by an “objectionable” social media post, police said Monday.<\/p>\n
The violence took place in the Pusesawali village in Khatao tehsil of Satara district at 9.30 PM on Sunday, following which internet services in the area were suspended as a precautionary measure. One video of the violence shows a group of people running down a busy street; they seem to be fleeing from something.<\/p>\n
The video then pans back to show the rest of the street – along which shops and eateries are still open – and a police jeep.<\/p>\n
Authorities, who have warned against believing or spreading rumours on social media, also said some houses were damaged.<\/p>\n
A second video shows people running down a side street as what seems to be a building is on fire.<\/p>\n
Other videos – from Monday morning – show charred and empty streets divided by police barricades and security forces walking around. One also shows a Sports Utility Vehicle with its rear window shattered and a two-wheeler that had been set on fire.<\/p>\n
Police response was prompt and the situation is now under control, authorities said, adding that there is now heavy security presence and some individuals had been detained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
