A police official was attacked in the incident and his vehicle was set ablaze by a mob.

The five men had been detained after the Bajrang Dal workers gheraoed the police station demanding that an FIR registered against some men, for allegedly attacking members of minority community, be expunged.

The agitators reportedly misbehaved with a senior police officer following which the police used mild force to disperse the crowd.

Five persons were later caught and detained at the police station. They were later sent to the Sadar Bazar Police Station.
