Sources said a minor issue resulted in Sunday’s clash wherein two groups began pelting stones at each other. Cops had to finally resort to a lathi charge and tear gas to disperse the mob.

In the process Kundapur SI  Naseer Hussain and a constable named Raju sustained injuries.  It is learnt the injured belonged to both the communities. All are undergoing treatment at a private hospital in a Kundapur.

It all began when a few  youth of one particular community were chatting close by a petty shop near the Kinara Bar in Halavalli and another group of youth of another community who were passing  by in a vehicle reportedly recorded a video  in one of their cell phones and pointed fingers towards the group sitting near the shop. Infuriated by this the latter began to abuse the former.

Though the police rushed to the spot they could not control the situation immediately as one group barged into a house where a wedding was underway and resorted to stone pelting.

Soon large number of people who gathered began to hurl stones and bottles at each other. When   lathi charge went futile, police had to opt for three rounds of tear gas.

Additional police forces from Shankernarayana and other  places were deployed. Presently even two DAR platoons and KSRP teams are on security duty.

Senior police officials are camping in the tension hit area. Even Gayatri Nayak, Tahsildar of Kundapur visited the affected area.
