Swords were brandished and stones hurled at residents of Guru Nanak Colony, Jagatpura, after they objected to a group of youths allegedly selling drugs in the area this afternoon.

A video of the incident, which left two youths injured, purportedly showed children, women and the elderly caught in the clash. A youth brandished a sword amid stone pelting from both sides.

On being informed, a police party reached the spot and brought the situation under control. Residents alleged that the miscreants attacked protesting residents with swords and farm equipment, injuring Ramesh.
