Bandh call fall-out: Communal skirmish in Kishangarh

The trouble erupted in Madanganj-Kishanganj police areas when hundreds of VHP activists tried to forcibly close down shops in the roadside markets on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway, police said.

When members of a minority community objected, the situation worsened and the two sides hurled stones at each other intermittently for at least two hours forcing the police to open fire in the air, they said.

There were no reports of any casualty but the situation in the area was tense and curfew has been imposed in the town, they said.

Additional forces have been rushed to the town, they added.
