Banda (UP): At least ten people belonging to a community were on Friday injured when members of another community attacked them in Pailani area of the district.
The attack took place this afternoon when some unidentified people came armed with rods and sharp-edged weapons in Sabara village and attacked the people, police said.
The injured were rushed to a hospital and police personnel have been deployed to prevent any backlash, they said.
