Soon after the incident, the locals of both the communities came across and started pelting stones on each other for 45 minutes near Seri Market, said reports, adding, “Panic gripped in the entire area when the PSO of Municipal Committee Bhaderwah Javed Azad opened fire in the area.” Finding the situation going out of control, police opened fire to disperse the mob.
