The incident, in which one woman pedestrian was injured, took place on Bankhedi road in Morena city on Friday, and possibly was the fallout of a media post tussle between the two groups, Kotwali police station in charge Arati Charate said.
“A case was registered against seven persons, all of whom fled from the spot. So far, six people have been detained and questioning is underway,” she said. PTI
