Three people were injured after volunteers clashed among themselves during a "Tiranga" rally being taken out by some organisations in Uttar Pradesh's Shahjahanpur on Wednesday, police said. Two people were arrested following the incident, police added.
The rally was taken out by activists of the Hindu Yuva Vahini and Bajrang Dal in the wake of the killing of a youth, Chandan Gupta, in Kasganj last week.
Tilhar police station in-charge Razi Ahmed said, "Workers of Hindu Yuva Vahini and Bajrang Dal were today taking out a motorcycle rally, when there was a dispute between two of them over money."
