Eerie calm prevailed in the area as locals preferred to stay at home. Those ventured out to buy essential household items like milk and other eatables claimed that outsiders had stoked violence in the area.
“Some outsiders had started Diwali night’s incident which catapulted into a full blown clash among two communities and now we are suffering,” said Aman Singh, who had come out to buy milk for his three-year-old son.
