As many as 112 people have been arrested in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (UP); two days after clashes between two communities took the life of a teenage boy.
The incident occurred in the Kasganj district of UP, where two religious groups hurled stones at one another during a motorcycle rally taken out to celebrate the Republic Day.
Hindu and Muslim groups have blamed each other for the violence.
A police officer was quoted by the PTI news agency as saying that although the situation was now under control, there continued to be a heavy security presence in the area, with three drones also deployed for additional surveillance.
Officials have confirmed that the teenage boy died amid stone-pelting between the two groups, but it is not yet clear why the violence erupted.
After the death of the teenager, properties in Muslim areas of the district were attacked, reports BBC quoting residents.
A law which prevents gatherings of more than four people in a single area has also been imposed in the district in a bid to prevent further violence.
