Meerut, Nov 02: Communal tension gripped the city
today following the murder of a person belonging to a
particular community here, police said.
Trouble broke out at Shyamnagag locality when two members
of a particular community roughed up a cobbler belonging to
another community mistaking him to be a child kidnapper.
The cobbler attacked them with a sharp-edged instrument apparently in self-defence killing one of them on the spot and wounding another, they said.
The cobbler was bitten by a dog and had gone to the area to search for the canine on the advice of a doctor to check whether the animal was dead or alive.
Timely intervention by police, however, prevented a communal flare-up, they added.
The cobbler has been arrested and Rapid Action Force and PAC personnel deployed in strength in the area, police said adding the situation was under control.
