A group of at least 50 miscreants armed with sharp weapons and sticks went on rampage and vandalised around 30 vehicles, including two-wheelers, parked on streets at Mauli Complex, in Mauli Jagran on Thursday night, following an argument between a local resident and a meat shop owner.
The miscreants pelted stones and smashed the windowpanes of the houses, leaving the residents terrified. Sources said that persons from the opposite group also pelted the stones in retaliation.
Police said that meat shop owner named Kunal was at his shop when a person named Karan arrived there along with his dog. Karan brought the dog inside the shop to which Kunal objected. The incident led to heated arguments after which Karan left from there.
