Maharashtra: Four cops injured in clash at Nanded Gurudwara

Four police personnel were injured when some Sikh youth broke the gates of a gurudwara in Nanded and allegedly attacked them after permission for 'Hola Mohalla' tradition was denied due to COVID-19.

SP Vinod Shivade said, "Permission for Hola Mohalla (Halla Bol) wasn't granted due to COVID-19. Gurudwara committee was informed and they'd said that they would do it inside Gurudwara."

"The committee had said they'll do it inside Gurudwara premises itself. But around 4 pm when Nishan Sahib was brought to the gate, they started arguing and 300-400 youth broke the gate and marched outside. Four police personnel were injured and vehicles were damaged. An FIR has been registered and a probe is on," SP added.
